Yes, but that was simply a bug report against 4.0.1 that was applied to 4.1.0. I found what looks like the original RFE to change the behavior of 3.2.0 to always look in the caller's directory first.
RFE1666636 seems to be the point at which ooRexx 'Call' routine lookup diverges from IBM Object REXX, and Classic Rexx for that matter. THAT is where the the trail ends. I can find no reference to that RFE in any of the Tracker or Forums files. It shows up in five postings to the Oorexx-svn mailing list. Those postings are nothing but SVN update logs which include the line: + * 1666636 - Add source of caller to function search order. The earliest mention of 1666636 is as an RFE update 4087 to 3.2.0 on 2009-02-06 03:11:42 +0000 (Fri, 06 Feb 2009). I can find no information on who submitted the RFE, the rationale behind it, or any discussion of its merits, necessity, unintended consequences, or anything else. I have not gone so far as to checkout the 3.2.0 source to see if there is any commentary in the code, and frankly that shouldn't be necessary. -Chip- On 10/31/11 13:31 Uli Zinngrebe said: > On Sunday 30 Oct 2011 05:54:21 Mark Miesfeld wrote: >> On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 9:38 PM, Mark Miesfeld <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 3:46 PM, Chip Davis <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> >>> It's doubtful to me that the behavior changed between 4.0.1 and 4.1.0. >>> But, he did attach a test program, so I'll give it a try. >> Well, that was a surprise, the behavior did change between 4.0.1 and >> 4.1.0.
