Regina Rexx - error on lineout

Hello,

I am very new to Regina rexx.
I am running on Win XP Pro SP2, Regina Rexx 3.4
I am using lineout to write to a file.
A sample of the lineout is below ...

lineout('c:\data\rpt2.csv',lout)

The lineout seems to be writing to the file but in the dos box I am getting
the below error on every lineout write...

'0' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program o
r
batch file

How can I suppress this message ? Is lineout stacking the return code or
something?

Thank you very much
Neil

Thank you very much Gil.
Found it.

Call lineout

What you are seeing is not specific to Regina; you've misunderstood REXX
syntax and semantics.

>lineout('c:\data\rpt2.csv',lout)

The REXX semantics for that statement are to treat the value of the
expression as a command in the default environment. To do what you want
use one of

status=lineout('c:\data\rpt2.csv',lout)
call lineout 'c:\data\rpt2.csv', lout

>'0' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
>program or  batch file

The function lineout returns 0 if successful. DOS does not recognize 0 as
a valid command.

>How can I suppress this message ?

By not using the inappropriate statement; see above.
