Hi All,
Is any way to get all combinations of series of letters using REXX.
I meant that i have letters A,E,I,O,U.I want to create the all possible combinations using this letters.
For this is any inbuilt function or do i have to write the logic for this? |

It will be all down to you - based on your current description of the problem / request.
Maybe if you explained better and gave some example of what you want |

Example
I have the letters A,E,I,O,U. I want to create the all the combination of words using this letters.
Like
AEIOU
AEIUO
AEUIO
AUEIO
UAEIO............ etc
Now are you clear with my requirement? |

combinations would be:
AAAAA
AAAAE
AAAEE
whereas permutations means each letter can only be used once in the sequence.
so, which is it? |

sure it is.
what logic have you designed? or do you expect us to design, develop and then deliver the product to you?
develop some pseudo-code and someone can help you with the commands necessary. |

Bipin, you tend to try solving your own problems, so I am not going to rant.
in fact, since it is so easy I am just going to give you the answer.
| Code: |
/* REXX */
stem1.0 = 5
stem1.1 = 'A'
stem1.2 = 'B'
stem1.3 = 'C'
stem1.4 = 'D'
stem1.5 = 'E'
stem2.0 = 5
stem2.1 = 'A'
stem2.2 = 'B'
stem2.3 = 'C'
stem2.4 = 'D'
stem2.5 = 'E'
stem3.0 = 5
stem3.1 = 'A'
stem3.2 = 'B'
stem3.3 = 'C'
stem3.4 = 'D'
stem3.5 = 'E'
stem4.0 = 5
stem4.1 = 'A'
stem4.2 = 'B'
stem4.3 = 'C'
stem4.4 = 'D'
stem4.5 = 'E'
stem5.0 = 5
stem5.1 = 'A'
stem5.2 = 'B'
stem5.3 = 'C'
stem5.4 = 'D'
stem5.5 = 'E'
outputstem. = ''
outputstem.0 = 1
/*then I would have a complex loop */
do r = 1 to stem1.0
do s = 1 to stem2.0
do t = 1 to stem3.0
do u = 1 to stem4.0
do v = 1 to stem5.0
j = outputstem.0
outputstem.j = stem1.r || stem2.s || stem3.t || stem4.u || stem5.v
outputstem.0 = outputstem.0 + 1
end
end
end
end
end
outputstem.0 = outputstem.0 - 1
say outputstem.0
do r = 1 to outputstem.0
say outputstem.r
end
|
you will have to figure out how to output the results to a dataset. |

Expat you are great..(excuse me if you are not  )
I didnt get this statement
| Code: |
| INTERPRET "STM"AA"."AB "= STM0."AB |
What is this doing? |

expat, I may have been faster, but yours is a much better script.
Besides, my sequence is A B C D E instead of A E I O U

Dick and expat,
I think instead of using 5 different stems we can use one stem with 5 different indexes. |

Aaaaaaaah shucks
INTERPRET is a pretty powerful statement in REXX
The parts within the double quotes are literals, and the parts outside can be substituted by the current value of other variables.
For example
when using a value of 3 for AA, and 4 for AB becomes
STM3.4 = STM0.4
It is a great statement, I suggest you try doing that piece using TRACE R or TRACE I to follow it through. It's a great statement to have in the armoury, but it took me a couple of goes to get it right
| Code: |
TRACE R
DO AA = 1 TO STM0.0
DO AB = 1 TO STM0.0
INTERPRET "STM"AA"."AB "= STM0."AB
END
END
TRACE O

That's greate Bipin.
buuuuuuuuuuuuut, you have a typo:
outputstem.j = stem1.r || stem1.s || stem1.t || stem1.u || stem5.v
sorry, could not resist. |

Just for a laugh I tried to get this to work with a variable number of characters
Yeah, work is a little slow today
A bit cack-handed ....... but it does work 
| Code: |

QUEUE """ALLOC FI(INDATA) DA('My REXX Library(CARTESA8)') SHR"""

In Bipinpeter's example:
| Code: |
outputstem.0 = 1
...
j = outputstem.0
outputstem.j = stem1.r || stem1.s || stem1.t || stem1.u || stem5.v
outputstem.0 = outputstem.0 + 1
....
outputstem.0 = outputstem.0 - 1 |
I suggest starting with 0 and only incrementing when you have the next value. Then you do not need to subtract:
| Code: |
j = 0
...
j = j + 1
outputstem.j = stem1.r || stem1.s || stem1.t || stem1.u || stem1.v
....
outputstem.0 = j
|
[/code] |
