Re: Heretic alert: I really detest TSO REXX (the language)

Heretic indeed! I've been a Rexx user for 35+ years, so I'm at least used to it. Have written entire products in it, published a book about it, so (surprise) I disagree. I believe that Rexx's biggest weakness was that it came from IBM back when IBM was considered Bad by the non-IBM community.

I was hopeful that the IEZIOB would include the missing fields. Unfortunately it does not. Before opening an SR with IBM, I thought I'd give the List one more shot. The $BUFFER macro changed in z/OS 2.2; we're jumping from 2.1 to 2.3 using code carried unmodified for decades (!). The following

All symbols are case insensitive. Talis are case sensivtive: bar='baz' say f.bar say foo.BAR say FOO.bar say FOO.BAR will give 4 identical outputs, but change that first line to bar='BAZ' and you're talking about a different variable. You can use the value BIF to get

Re: Heretic alert: I really detest TSO REXX (the language)

I feel compelled to use Perl because of its expressive power and the massive library available at CPAN, but I consider it ugly. I'd really prefer a language with regex syntax for people who aren't limited to slow teletypes, more in the style of ICON, SNOBOL or Wylbur. As for REXX, it is a very

I'm at a loss as to why anybody would pay good money for cheese, given that the Moon is made of the stuff. It's hard to understand the reason for something when it isn't true in the first place. The fact that you prefer other languages doesn't make them better. Is REXX perfect? No way. But

Re: Heretic alert: I really detest TSO REXX (the language)

REXX already supports issuing authorized commands for supported environments, e.g., TSO. It's not particularly difficult to add a new environment to REXX, but executing APF authorized commands safely in that environment is not for the faint of heart. OS/2 has something similar to shebang

Re: Heretic alert: I really detest TSO REXX (the language)

OOREXX solves many of the problems in classic REXX. I never found writing REXX function packages to be difficult. I don't care for Perl syntax, but between its expressive power and the massive CPAN I find myself using it regardless. That said, I find that REXX has a much cleaner syntax for

Need your zPDT users advice. We want to move from local server to Amazon hosting. if I recall correctly, at list Scott Ford once said they do. I know that the licensing server will still stay here. no problems with that. ​any pros & cons? ITschak ​ -- ITschak Mugzach *|** IronSphere Platform*
