Hello everyone,
I had occasion this past year to convert a classic REXX program that ran on
z/os to an oorexx program that ran on linux for one of my customers. Most
things converted just fine. The work centered around the I/O interfaces,
sockets and files. The sockets weren't too bad, but there are some differences.
The files, though, required a wholesale rewrite.
Now I have sniffed around the archives enough to know that somebody has oorexx
up and running on z/os. I suspect that it is entirely a creature of the unix
side of the house. Is there any thought to making oorexx the default
interpreter on z/os? I know that right now it would break a lot of programs,
and not just because of EXECIO. I have a product, REXXTOOLS/MVS that is pretty
widespread and would need to be accounted for.
I just wanted you to know that I stand ready to help in any way that I can.
Sincerely,
Earl Hodil
