Some advantages of using REXX for implementing client/server solutions
are:
- The availability of REXX interpreter support under REXX/CICS with
its quick development cycle and excellent source-based interactive
debugging allows the rapid prototyping and development of complex
systems.
- The high-level client/server interfaces in REXX/CICS can improve
development productivity and lower maintenance costs
- Because REXX/CICS allows REXX clients and servers to be recoded
in non-REXX languages, performance intensive parts of an application
system can be selectively rewritten, if needed.
The FLST and EDIT commands that REXX/CICS provides are examples
of client/server environments.
