Origin ambiguous and incorrect
editObject REXX was never available on OS/390; it was ported from the OS/2 version to other PC platforms, but not to any IBM mainframe operating systems.
REXX itself was originally developed on CMS under VM. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 23:20, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
OREXX integrated with SOM?
editREXX was designed to allow definitions of command subsystems and function packages, but the subsystems and function packages shipped with an OS are not part of REXX. I know of nothing in OREXX in OS/2 that is actually integrated with SOM. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 20:58, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

ANSI?
editIs the footnote about ANSI still valid. I know that a recent 5.0.0 beta added the ANSI extensions to ADDRESS. Is anything else still missing? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 16:39, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
BSF4ooRexx?
editShould the article mention BSF4Rexx and BSF4ooRexx interfaces to Java via Bean Scripting Framework? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 17:31, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
BIF bersus method?
editMost of the extensions to ooRexx over the years have been in the form of new classes and new methods for existing classes. As a result, tracking the BIF count is not a helpful way to track the growth of the language. Would it be appropriate to add a note to that effect? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 13:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- I agree! However, I'm not sure which parts of the article you are referring to or how such a note would look like. Dylwi (talk) 20:01, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Dylwi: § Built-in and external functions begins
ooRexx release 5.0.0 contains 82 built-in functions, the number of which has remained relatively stable over the years.
I believe that it would be more useful to give the number of classes or the number of methods. Of course, that would entaile one or more additional secions. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 12:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)- I agree with you. I have some other extensions planned that I want to implement next month and will take that into consideration.
