The REXX Handbook.
McGraw-Hill. 1992
This complete tutorial is packed with information on the programming methods and application developments
for the cornerstone of IBM’s System Application Architecture—REXX.
Presenting real-world techniques for effective REXX programming on both IBM and non-IBM platforms,
the guide covers:
• Programming for good performance
• Effective debugging techniques
• Practical user interface design strategies
• System dependencies and interfaces
• Useful program maintenance guidelines
• Complex application/system issues
• REXX interpreter and compiler implementations
Written by three dozen world-class REXX implementors and users—including REXX’s originator, Mike Cowlishaw—this is a valuable reference for anyone programming or using any of the SAA computing platforms (MVS, VM, OS/2, OS/400) or the numerous non-IBM alternatives. The guide is a complete and system-independent encyclopedia of ideas, techniques, and code samples that shows you how to exploit REXX to its fullest extent.
