I suppose You are aware of that the source code in the load module is an option 
?
Why do You want to have the source, is it because of functions like 
Sourceline() etc. ? 

(Btw, I have a function that remove comments from source code.)

Ämne: Re: Rexx compression in TSO?


We are licensees of the Rexx compiler and I am familiar (I believe) with its 
options.

I am interested in "compressing" Rexx source code before compiling so as
to:

- remove comments and white space from the source code that ends up embedded in 
the Rexx load module (assuming it is to support the "alternate library") as a 
way of decreasing the exposure of intellectual property.
- possibly improve speed of execution under the "alternate library"
- reduce load module size

Yes, I am aware of the Rexx compiler's COMPRESS option. It has the undesired 
side effect of increasing run time and CPU time.

What would really make me happy is if IBM changed their licensing - unique I 
believe, certainly atypical - that requires a site to license the Rexx compiler 
in order to be able to run the compiler's object code.

Why do you want to compress an exec, and what kind of "things" do you 
then want to do with it?  Perhaps you have another choice, such as 
compiling the exec using the REXX compiler (if you've licensed it).
