While appreciating the humor, I'd point out that nested function calls like that are entirely natural and accepted in Rexx. With good tracing options like TRACE ?I (Intermediates) debugging such statements is not at all difficult. With 35+ years of Rexx use, I find Brian's illustrated example painful to read. As an illustration it makes sense-not criticizing you, Brian!-but if I'd posted it, I might have included the compressed, single-statement version as an example of how you'd actually use it in real life. .phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
