Subject: Can I traverse a STEM variable?
Posted: Wed May 31, 2017 3:54 pm (GMT 5.5)
I'm learning rexx, so my question might be silly. Sorry for that![icon_smile.gif]()
If I have a STEM variable containing many items, but the keys (a.k.a. the tails) are not necessarily sequential numbers, but perhaps are some key strings.
Can I traverse the STEM and process each item?
Example STEM:
stemVar.1 = 'ascasc'
stemVar.abc = '2353235'
stemVar.567 = 'qju&*j'
...
Can I process each item in stemVar without knowledge of the tail names?
...or,
Is thinking a STEM as a STL container the root cause of my problem?
Thank you in advance!
