Hi,
I need to check different values of a variable using WHEN conditions. and these values needs to behave as NOT equal,
Since it is NOT equal we needs to combine these values using AND condition (&), Correct?
If so is the below Rexx code correct,
when ((top \= 9) & (top \= W) & (top \= Y) & (top \= Z)) then do |

I haven't tested it, as there are few constraints in doing so.
I just wanted to know whether the code which i have mentioned is correct or not.. |

Very weird constraints for not testing a REXX program which doesn't need any compilation I am sorry to say it is a lame excuse like saying "I forgot my id password so can't work today" |

In REXX there are other (better?) ways to do that:
| Code: |
/* if top is one of the 4 letters, pos will have a value of 1 to 4 */
/* if top does not contains one of the letters, pos will return 0 */
/* but will return false positive if top contains 9W or WY or YZ */
when Pos(top,'9WYZ') = 0 then do |
| Code: |
/* quite similar, without the false positives */
when WordPos(top,'9 W Y Z') = 0 then do |
Can't run tests ? That's tough !  |

Either you are quite lazy or you are not really interested in doing this kind of work.
If you can edit you code in tso/ispf, you can test. . . 
Maybe not the entire process, but what you ask about can easily be tested with a tiny bit of code that is only for testing this particular requirement. |
