Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: REXX and WPS programming

Content Type: text/plain

Hi,
I'm still trying to use Object REXX to perform some WPS programming. I'm having the
following problem and any help here would be appreciated:

I'm trying to list various properties of the objects on my desktop. Therefore, I've used
the "wpPopulate(0, Folder~wpQueryTitle, .FALSE)" method to create an array
containing all of the objects on my desktop.

Now, I can list all of the objects contained in the resulting array (I use the ~STRING)
method to lists the objects in the array. However, when I try to use the "~wpQueryTitle"
or "~wpQueryStyle" method to get the title or the style of the various objects, the result is
that my REXX program hangs on that particular line without going any further. That is, it
reads that line and STOPS. There are no error messages or anything else. For
example, DeskTopArray is the name of the array that lists/contains the desktop
objects. I then enumerate over the array, using:

DeskTopArray[Index]~STRING

to list the objects in the array. That works well. But when I attempt to enumerate over the
array, using:

DeskTopArray[Index]~wpQueryTitle

or

DeskTopArray[Index]~wpQueryStyle,

Nothing happens. The program simply stops.

Thank you for any help on this.
