Parameters eaten by the REXX Interpreter

The following parameters, when passed to a REXX program, are interpreted and eaten by the REXX Interpreter himself (see also Parameters eaten by the CMD.EXE):

• This parameter delimiter is reserved for the REXX interpreter. You can't use it for program-specific parameters. Note that this limitation is removed in Object-Oriented REXX

• t
  Create the tokenized version of the program without executing it

  To use the parameter //t in Object-Oriented REXX you can add other parameter(s). Example:

   D:\Test> test2.cmd //t dfad
       3 *-* parse arg thisargs
         >>>   "//t dfad"
  
  D:\Test> test2.cmd //t //t
       3 *-* parse arg thisargs
         >>>   "//t //t"
  
  D:\Test> test2.cmd //t
  
  

  (see also Workaround for the // limitation for a method to workaround for these limitations).
