PRG-01 : REXX PARSE - Exposed!

Topic Description PARSE is arguably the most powerful keyword instruction in Rexx (aside from INTERPRET, of course). The PARSE template allows you to process strings by words, columns, search strings, or any combination of them all. Such power usually comes at a price; many Rexx programmers are intimidated or confused by the more complex templates. This presentation will use many examples to step through increasingly complex templates, demonstrating the simple yet elegant structure beneath. By the end of the hour, there won't be a PARSE template that will stump you. Schedule Saturday, October 18, 2003 03:00 PM Mendocino Speaker Info Chip Davis learned to program on an IBM 1620 in 1963.

He was one of the authors of the ANSI Standard for Rexx and currently is the Rexx Project Manager for SHARE and President of the Rexx Language Association.
