Current restrictions


The NetRexx translator is rapidly evolving; features are being added almost daily to complete the implementation of the language. As of this version there are still a number of restrictions, listed below.

Please note that the presence of an item in this section is not a commitment to include that item or remove a restriction in some future update; NetRexx enhancements are dependent on on-going research, your feedback, and available resources. You should treat this list as a 'wish-list'.

Implementation in progress

These items are work-in-progress:

Not yet implemented

The following planned language elements are not yet available (in a potential 'to-do' order):

Phase 1 restrictions

The following restrictions apply to the prototype translator and are unlikely to be removed for that translator. It is expected that they would be removed in phase 2, when the translator is ported to NetRexx.

Phase 2 restrictions

The following restrictions are due to the use of a translator, and would only be lifted if a full NetRexx compiler were built (phase 3).
