The SAMPLIB member cited below is not there on my R13 system. I found it on 2.1. ;-( ------------------------------------------ I just did a simple-minded Google search with
ibm system rexx sample and got a lot of hits. Also SYS1.SAMPLIB contains some uncompiled samples like HWIXMRS1 . . .

The execs doesnt have to be compiled. You can sa e them as source code. You an use the racf pw exit as a sample to start with. ITschak בתאריך 5 באוק 2016 22:39, "John McKown" <[email protected]> כתב: I'm just now looking at System REXX. Basically to see what it might be able to do which we now do with CA-OPS/MVS. The System REXX programs distributed by IBM are compiled. I don't see any "source" forms for them. The documentation seems a bit "disjointed" to me. I am basically guessing that the REXX is identical to the REXX documented in the TSO books. I did find out about the TSO=YES and TSO=NO parameters, but don't know where that is specified. And I am assuming that, since the manuals don't mention it, that ADDRESS SYSCALL and use of UNIX facilities is not supported. IOW, it appears to me that System REXX really can't be used as an automation tool. The closest that I can think of to do so is to write an MPF exit which invokes a System REXX program, passing the program the message, thus allowing the REXX program to analyze it and "do something". -- Heisenberg may have been here.
