- I'm currently testing the beta version of Terminus 2.0, and
- I have some problems with scripts. I'm planning a bit bigger
- script program that needs not only ordinary variables, but
- "table" variables - those what usually are initialized with
- DIM a(100,2) command, for example.
-
- NComm and Terminus doesn't seem to have this type of variables.
- So, I've tried to use Arexx.
-
- Terminus has REXX command, which sends a command string to the
- Arexx server. And Arexx 'has got it all', so it would be a good
- idea to mix Script and Arexx commands. However, I haven't find
- a way to pass information between Arexx variables and Terminus'
- script variables.
-
- I've tried the following:
-
- 1) REXX "a(1)=10" ... and then print (or REXX say) commands, but
- this seems to be a difficult/impossible way to operate... I
- would have to place REXX command at the start of every line.
-
- 2) Not using .scp, but .trx instead. But without any results...
- What Arexx command should I use to replace PRINT REMOTE?
-
- ...writing a host script is very difficult, and frustrating, if
- I don't find any solution to this problem.
-
- So, Please!, tell me, how could I use this type of variables,
- or find a way to do things different way...
