What is REXX?

REXX is an extremely versatile programming language. Common programming structure, readability, and free format make it a good language for beginners and general users. REXX is also suitable for more experienced computer professionals because it can be intermixed with commands to host environments, it provides powerful functions, and it has extensive mathematical capabilities.

REXX programs can do many tasks under CICS. These include issuing EXEC CICS commands, SQL statements, as well as commands to the CEDA (Resource Definition Online Transaction) and CEMT (Master Terminal Transaction) utilities.
