Could you please let me know what are the major differences between REXX on TSO environment and REXX on Z/VM environment.
Also could you please provide any document contains these differences and specific zVM REXX concepts.

In here, in the Reference, you will find concepts.
Rexx was first on VM/CMS. There's lots of rexx stuff "out there". What is the particular problem you are encountering? |

Thanks Bill,
Actually i know TSO REXX and i have to work on z/VM REXX. So i want to know how zVM REXX concepts will be different than TSO REXX.
Appreciate your help if i get the differences in these two.
Thanks,
Kranthi |

I don't think it's in the rexx itself that you'll find so many differences, but in the "environments" that you "address" for instance, and in the file structures - the non-rexx stuff that you are used to using in rexx on z/OS.
If you are using CMS (which I assume you are) you'll find the XEDIT editor much more powerful, don't limit yourself to what you know, type help and get reading.
The rexx itself on VM/CMS is rexx, much as the z/OS variety. That won't be your learning curve. Start with those VM rexx manuals in the link. Look for example execs/macros at your site. Just get to grip with "address CP", "address CMS" and the minidisk file-structures (and look up in a manual what the filetypes mean, the numeric part). |

Hi Bill,
These manuals which you gave are really helpful. Thanks for that.
I want to learn how we can trigger REXX execs with console commands, messages, external interrupts. Please let me know if we have any manuals with such examples.
Thanks,
Kalyan |
