Query Time application


This example is a NetRexx version of one of the earliest Rexx programs; it displays the time in 'plain English'.

Here's the source, as a plain ASCII file.

To run the program, create or copy the 'qtime.nrx' file, and then enter the command:

netrexxc -run qtime

This would:

  1. Call the NetRexx translator to translate the program from NetRexx to Java
  2. Call the Java compiler (javac) to compile the program into a class file
  3. Call the Java interpreter (java) to interpret the class file, which should then display the time in words.
