Book Description

Of all the free scripting languages, why should you learn Rexx? Rexx is unique in that it combines power with ease of use. Long the dominant scripting language on mainframes, it is definitely a "power" language, yet it is also so easy to use that its popularity has expanded to every conceivable platform. Today Rexx developers use the language on Windows, Linux, Unix, BSD, Macs, mainframes and many dozens of other systems... and, there are many free and open source Rexx interpreters available.

This book provides a comprehensive reference and programming guide to the Rexx programming language. It shows how to use the most popular implementations of Rexx and Rexx external function packages and is suited to both the programmer learning Rexx for the first time as well as the seasoned Rexx developer requiring a single, comprehensive reference manual.
