The compiler will help to a limited degree. Your REXX code will run faster but most REXX invokes outside services (e.g., TSO commands, ISPF services, etc.) and those will not benefit from the compiler. Thus the usual caveat of YMMV applies.

I found the IBM REXX Compiler and a product called eXtended Compiler for REXX from a company called improvIT Software Innovations?. The main goal is to make REXX programs run faster. Do these products help with that, or are they just a way to create a load module that 'hides' the source code?
