I came across this:

If you're a member of RexxLA ( http://rexxla.org ) there
was a discussion on the subject almost 3 years ago and a
member has developed one. It was supposed to wind up in
ooRexx but I haven't checked to see it's status. Try
looking on SourceForge under 'oorexx'.

Thanks very much, Les.
I am hoping to find something that can be used both by ooRexx and in
std Rexx or, in fact, BREXX on the mainframe.
The more standard its implementation the better. However, I'm also
interested in a comprehensive implementation on ooRexx paired with
something more limited for std Rexx.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a classic Rexx implementation that could therefore be used for BREXX.
However, for the upcoming ooRexx 4.0 there is a mainframe (Linux based) version planned, which you
might be able to use on the mainframe.

For ooRexx there is a SAX-like parser, cf.
<http://oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/oorexx/incubator/orxutils/xml/xmlparser.cls?view=markup>.
If you go to the parent's folder at
<http://oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/oorexx/incubator/orxutils/xml/> and look for the author id
"wdashley", you'll find some examples of how to take advantage of xmlparser.cls. [That directory
also contains the preliminary work for a DOM-parser implemented in ooRexx, which is not ready yet,
author id "bigrixx".]
---
Finally, once ("real soon now") ooRexx 4.0 goes GA, a new version of BSF4Rexx (probably dubbed 4.0)
is planned to be released which takes advantage of the ooRexx 4.0 new APIs (it will be fully
backwardly compatible), as reported at this year's International Rexx Symposium at Hursley. That
version of BSF4Rexx will allow you - among other things - to exploit Java's SAX and DOM framework,
which is realized via Java interface classes, by allowing one to implement the abstract methods in Rexx.

Thanks a lot rony, as usual!
I did find another implementation for the mainframe on CBT, i.e.
CBT647. I am hesitant to even investigate it closely (though it looks
promising) at this time because of the incompatibility of its license
(GNU V2 vs. BSD modified). Unfortunately the mainframe implementation
I need has to run on MVS/z/OS as well.
David Ashley's implementation looks excellent from afar. I'll
definitely play with it.
I am always looking at BSF4Rexx and have used it several times by
now. However, I'll stick with ooRexx version 3.2 for everything I do
until an IDE or, at the very least, a source level debugger is
available. I might use 4.0 for final deployment but not for
development.
Thanks again!
