I’m not sure I would use Java as a REXX alternative now we have Python. REXX is
very much legacy now. The old timers love it because it’s all they know but
push come to shove Python is much easier to learn then Java with all the OO
cruft.

Python has had type hints for ages
https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html. If you use an IDE you can set
the review to block commits if liniting fails.

REXX is a pretty poor language for anything modern.
IBM and ISVs are working on Python APIs for products right now. And they will
be better than the REXX versions.

REXX can indeed be quite tricky to navigate. I recently conducted a session
titled "Python for REXX programmers" at work, and during the preparation, I was
surprised (although not entirely) by the numerous traps and pitfalls inherent
in REXX. When you add to this its absence of basic

There's a TSO/E vector table that has the address of the REXX routines.
// get the address of the TSO/e vector table
CVT * cvt = *(( CVT ** ) CVTPTR);
TSVT * tsvt = cvt->cvttvt;

My advice is to write a command processor. As I said creating an LE environment

pre-initialised LE environment and hang the pointer in
There isn’t an R0 issue. IRXINIT(‘FINDENVB’) will fetch the environment block.
All of the REXX mapping macros have been converted to C structures and can be

As if we didn’t already have enough z/OS C/C++ compilers :)
I've recently been working on Python bindings for z/OS products and wanted to
share some useful notes. IBM recently released the IBM C/C++ for Open
Enterprise Languages on z/OS compiler [1], a free version of IBM Open XL C/C++,

There must be a good
technical reason for this.

What’s the difference between between channelized I/O and a rack of x86 servers
connected to a SAN using fibre channel driven by high speed HBAs?

system gens, CICS stuff etc. I was impressed. We have Ansible where I work and
can stand up development z/OS images on z/VM. Very handy if you doing systems
level programming and don’t want to hose the LPAR you share with your team.
This new stuff was next level.

It seems to me that the Zxplore Python is badly broken and has major issues
with codepage translation. we’ve seen this before when you opened an issue for
pyzfile. I’m going to update the ticket to that effect so the maintainers
don’t waste time chasing shadows.
