There is no such thing as REXX-aware. You register your product's REXX callable routines and environment. Your product uses various REXX API's (e.g. variables). Is ooRexx a complete replacement for IBM REXX? With it's Java requirement, does CICS now support calling JAVA programs? How about products that support REXX but not JAVA? ooRexx would be a terrible language for automation because automation loses control of storage management. Those oop features come at a cost. If your product isn't essential then ooRexx is fine but can be a huge problem for system critical products. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
