Luis, I think REXX is trying to be funny.

I typed : SAY SQLCODE

and guess what? It said SQLCODE.

How do I get it to output the value of SQLCODE?

You are right, of course. I'm afraid I misread the
parenthesis's order.

I just ran his statements without problems. On the other hand, it
would seem as if SQLCODE had an invalid value (?). Time for a SAY
SQLCODE, perhaps?


That output is evidence there is no value assigned yet to the variable SQLCODE; i.e. per no value, the string itself is output. That is also an indication of why using the RC versus SQLCODE as a condition to report the SQLCODE is the source of a bug in the original REXX source statements.
