Re: Top 8 Reasons for using Python instead of REXX for z/OS Hi Shmuel. NetRexx has ADDRESS. It was added by Marc Remes in release 4.01. It can address any executable on your system. Subsequent versions will add ADDRESS WITH for collections and network. This was a syntactical addition, the runtime contains, for years and years already, the package org.netrexx.address, which has class OSProcess with method exec(), outtrap(command=Rexx) (where could that have come from?) and event for lines of output. But we decided to make this look more like Rexx. Best regards, René. > On 9 Jan 2022, at 11:29, Seymour J Metz <[email protected]> wrote: > > FSVO follows.
