This lists the Rexx keyword instructions or variations that are not included in NetRexx, with NetRexx equivalents where appropriate.
ADDRESS -- no equivalent concept.ARG -- obsolete; arguments are now defined on METHOD instructions.
CALL -- use a method invocation clause "term(...)". Any result is discarded.
CALL ON/OFF -- replaced by exception handlers (CATCH).
DO repetition-count -- use LOOP FOR.
DROP -- no direct equivalent; use assignment of 'null' for non-primitive classes.
INTERPRET -- no equivalent.
NUMERIC FUZZ -- rarely used in Rexx; however, it could be added if demand warranted.
PROCEDURE -- replaced by METHOD (local variables are automatically hidden; property variables are EXPOSEd automatically)
PULL -- use the keyword ASK with parse, or use Java input streams directly.
PUSH and QUEUE -- not part of the language; no 'external data queue' concept.
SIGNAL ON/OFF -- replaced by exception handlers (CATCH).
