Yes. But the Object Rexx DLL contains functions which are not in the
Classic Rexx DLL. At least for Warp 4 Fixpak 10.

Thanks for the list.

According to PMSEEK, none of my Warp 4 FP10 \OS2\DLL\*REX*.DLL files
contain the string 'SysStem' so I think SysStemSort() was added to
RexxUtil after FP 10.

My *REX*.DLL list (I'm SWITCHRX'd over to Object):

[G:\OS2\DLL]dir *REX*.DLL

-> 11-20-98 3:58p 49229 0 CREXUTIL.DLL
12-16-97 1:09p 266047 0 CREXX.DLL
8-09-96 12:25a 156291 49 NAMEREXX.DLL
6-14-96 10:45a 49189 0 PMREXXIO.DLL
11-20-98 3:58p 489013 0 REXX.DLL
7-23-98 3:54p 29603 0 REXXAPI.DLL
3-31-97 5:35p 61195 0 REXXCRT.DLL
8-01-96 1:53p 8360 0 REXXINIT.DLL
7-22-96 7:33p 43858 0 REXXSC.DLL
7-22-96 7:33p 76878 0 REXXSOM.DLL
-> 11-20-98 3:58p 33725 0 REXXUTIL.DLL
7-22-96 7:33p 4002 0 REXXWPS.DLL

I've pointed to the Object Rexx and Classic Rexx REXXUTIL DLL's. Note
that the dates are the same but the sizes are very different.

So any Fixpak beginning September 2000 should have SysStemSort(), yes?
My notes show approximate dates for FP14 as May 2000 and FP 15 as Jan
2001, so if I install FP 15 I should be okay, yes?

I'm helping Doug Rickman work some DLL incompatibilities out of
CodeAnalyzer which won't run on my FP10 system because it uses
SysStemSort(). I have most of the Warp 4 FP's -- is there a simple way
to extract just the *REX*.DLL files from each one so I can tell Doug
which FP first contained SysStemSort()? My interest in the required FP
level is for his README; I know he can use rxFuncQuery() to check to see
if SysStemSort() is available.

Thanks again for the Sep2000 function list.
