Course Description
Overview
This course is designed to teach you the basic skills required to write programs using the REXX language in z/OS. The course covers the TSO extensions to REXX and interaction with other environments such as the MVS console, running REXX in batch jobs, and compiling REXX.
This course is one step in the following Learning Journeys:
- z/OS System Operator
- z/OS System Programmer
Objectives
- Write programs using the Rexx language
- Use various data parsing techniques
- Use built-in Rexx functions
- Create user-defined internal and external functions and subroutines
- Issue host commands from within Rexx execs
- Code programs that read and write data sets
- Use instructions and commands that manipulate the data stack
- Use Rexx debugging tools
- Write error-handling routines
Audience
This is an intermediate course for people who need to write and maintain Rexx programs in the z/OS system environment.
