Hello Dana,
      you might want to have a look at my 'classic REXX' to NetRexx translator
(www.Rexx2Nrx.com). I did have to solve a simumilar problem as 'classic
REXX' does allow 'GO TO's (called SIGNAL in REXX), and NetRexx does Not.


      I solved the problem by generating (recursive) function invokations for
Jump forwards, and a LOOP with ITERATE instructions
for backward jumps.


If I might further help, give me an offline mail.
Thomas Schneider.
