I've been doing a simple job for my lectures, it worked fined yesterday at my home PC, but now in the class, or my laptop the rxmath libary does something strange. I'm using the newest ooRexx. I found some manuals that encouraged me to change to ::requires, but it still doesn't function properly. Drops out an error:

Select all

E:\galdarbas>rexx nd2.cmd
Error 20 running "E:\galdarbas\nd2.cmd", line 43: Name expected
Error 20.1: Name required; found ":" // this shows to the ::require ..... //

Select all

call rxfuncadd "MathLoadFuncs", "rxmath", "MathLoadFuncs"
d=((b*b)-(4*a*c))
saknis=RxCalcSqrt(d)
::requires 'rxmath' LIBRARY

B,A,C are pulled before. Windows PATH is set to the current directory(it has rxmath.dll) and to orexx also has the DLLs.

The whole script is here:

Thank you.

None of this relates to mainframe Rexx. Go to a PC Rexx forum. For what it is worth - although you have added the math library you have not loaded the functions you want to use. I do not know if the requires directive does that behind the scenes.

no need for the rxfuncadd stuff the ::requires directive takes care of it all.

Select all

#! /usr/bin/rexx
say "hallo from math.rx"
n = 4
say n rxcalcsqrt(n)
::requires "rxmath" LIBRARY

works for me...

but You must make sure that ooRexx has been properly installed, and/or
also look at the ooRexx docs on how to set the proper environment variables for non standard search paths
