I don't have any clever method here. Some of the old-time Rexx users
probably do. I was hoping that more ooRexx users would participate on this
list.
I would bet that Chip might have a good method here.
However, based on your 'similar problem' language, what might be a good
idea for you is to write a utility class. Maybe call it Validater and add
some validate methods to it. You could use signal on in the methods to
trap errors and return true if there is no trap and false if not.
::class Valdater public
::method validFile
use strict arg fileName
...
::method validDate
use strict arg date
...
The implementation of the methods would not necessarily be clever, just
correct. Then you wouldn't need to look at the. perhaps ugly,
implementation code, just use the class.
