22 books on REXX. REXX is a powerful scripting language used in many of IBM's platforms.Click on any item to find out more, order, or to go to Amazon.com and look around.
REXX is the scripting language used in IBM's panel display system, the Dialogue Manager. REXX is the language used for ISPF Editor macros. REXX can be used for custom-made programs which do not require the use of a compiler. REXX can be used for application programs but with a noticeable performance penalty over compiled languages.
There is a REXX for VM, VSE, OS/400, CICS TM, Linux, Unix, Windows and a REXX for CGI!
IBM has announced the impending demise of OS/2. Until it's completely gone, you'll be able to find books on OS/2 REXX on this page.
