Writing a REXX command processor in a HLL is non-trivial to do correctly. I've done it a few times and it requires creating a persistent LE environment and hanging the pointer on the user area inthe environment block. Like most things on z/OS, REXX programming services were designed for HLASM. Unfortunately, for the kind of APIs I'm interested in HLASM is practically useless. For example, regular expressions https://github.com/daveyc/RTK. It's far easier to just use a more contemporary programming language which has a modern API for writing packages.

Any idea where to find a sample or instruction manual? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
