Differences Between Mainframe rexx and Regina Rexx

There is Not much differences between Regina rexx and mainframe rexx, A person able to program any one of the rexx program could manage both and use both the forms uniformly.


Both the forms has its own advantages. Mainframe rexx has more powerful tools than Regina rexx. Take for example it can submit jcl's, Create or delete  PS,PDS and could execute any TSO command . In future posts i will be explaining all the possible commands in both Regina and mainframe rexx.

Rexx Programming Basics

Hi Folks,


              To start from the scratch . Rexx programming is done to basically automate few regular and frequent operations on data. Not restricting to Main Frame it can be used to create tools for any language. A simple example would be if there is a need to change a pin code starting with 145 to 551 which is repeated a 1000 times in your data. You can write a Rexx tool to change everything in seconds. But there's lot interesting in Rexx to do. One of the foremost thing to note in rexx is there is no kind of a syntax , data type declaration in Rexx. So its easy to learn learn. So common lets REXX!!!




Rexx Language is NOT case sensitive.Rexx Programming is mostly used in conversions , SQL Query generation with a set of input's you have. To write a set of mathematical instructions and execute it for all the data you. Going forward I will Post basic Program's in Rexx. And the various places you can use rexx and benefit using this very easy programming language.
