Hi KB,
It's a contraction for "Hash Bang", i.e. a number sign/pound sign/Hash
(Upper Shift 3 on a US Keyboard) followed by an exclamation mark (Upper
Shift 1 on a US Keyboard).
The Shebang is used at the start of a script to tell the *ix shell which
scripting language to invoke. It is similar to placing /* Rexx */ at the
start of an Exec which resides in the //SYSPROC
concatenation.
Regards,
David

If you want to start it with ./myexec.rex it needs a shebang.

I start the exec with ./myexec.rex while pwd shows the correct directory
and ls -l shows the exe. it returns BPXW0000I Exec not found
What am I missing?
