An Introduction to Using REXX with Language Environment

Project and Program: Application Architecture Development and Integration, LE and Programming Languages

Tags: Proceedings , 2012 , SHARE in Atlanta 2012

We will cover at an introductory level how to utilize Language Environment (LE) High Level Languages (HLLs) -- C, COBOL and PL/I -- with REXX. This is useful both for times when you need to use a High Level Language (or assembler) to get the job done, while at times it is quite helpful to leverage the power of REXX from an HLL (or assembler).  We'll talk about avoiding pitfalls in using Language Environment with REXX, and look at passing arguments and sharing variables between them.  Note that this is neither a tutorial on HLLs or REXX, attendees should have some LE and REXX programming experience.

This session has been updated with new content based on feedback from attendees at SHARE 117 in Orlando. Barry L. Lichtenstein, IBM Corporation
