Project and Program: Linux & VM, VM

Tags: Proceedings , 2016 , SHARE in San Antonio 2016

The REXX Language has been with us for more than two decades. It was designed to be easy to use; and continues to be popular across many computing platforms.  z/OS and z/VM system programmers and administrators find REXX to be very useful in doing their jobs; and use it for everything from simple tools to complex applications.   If you would like to learn the basics of the powerful REXX language; this two-part hands-on-lab is for you. We'll begin with basic syntax and expressions; continue with class exercises; and progress to more advanced topics and exercises. The focus will be on REXX on z/VM but the language constructs apply to REXX on all platforms. If you are new to z/VM; don't worry; we'll get you started and help you navigate your z/VM session to do the exercises.

This is an informal workshop. Bring your own laptop with 3270 emulator installed.-Richard Lewis-IBM Corporation; Bruce Hayden-IBM Corporation
