Text of Note

Practical Usage of MVS REXX provides a concise and complete source of information for the development of applications using the REXX language - IBM's systems application architecture procedural language. The book adopts a highly practical approach and includes many lists and diagrams to make finding the relevant information as easy to find and use as possible. It particularly emphasises the interfacing capabilities of REXX. Both beginners and experts will find the book useful. Beginners are led through the steps required to develop REXX applications via a series of worked examples, and experts will find a complete and easy reference to the language.
