Abstract
This hands-on lab is designed to teach you the skills necessary to write, test, and debug REXX programs using OS/2 WARP Version 3. REXX is a procedural language integrated into OS/2 which goes beyond the capabilities of DOS batch files. This easy-to-learn interpretive programming language is a powerful tool for both data processing professionals and end users. Since REXX is a Systems Application Architecture (SAA) language, the syntax and techniques that you learn will be applicable to other SAA environments such as CMS, TSO-E, and OS/400.
Length
3 days
