I have some VX-REXX programs (PGP Tools, Jasmine FTP, Webwriter) that
break when using Object REXX with OS/2 (work fine with Classic REXX).
Does anybody have any knowledge about what fixes are required to
VX-REXX to enable it to work with Object REXX?

Thanks for any info.

    Object Rexx (and Regina for that matter) behave differently from classic Rexx in
    one respect: before executing a Rexx program the interpreter checks for syntax
    errors. If there is a syntax error, an error message is raised and the program is not
    run. (This behaviour is intended for your own security: if there is a syntax error
    (mostly a/n omitted/missing END) you could always hit it, even after years.)

Therefore, if you have the source, check for syntax errors and correct them
(with Object Rexx you could issue "rexxc pgm.cmd" which merely checks for
syntax errors without executing the Rexx program). If you don't then you'd need
to contact the authors of the software.
