I did not know that. Before I retired from IBM, I had lobbied for them to donate the workstation agent to open source. Because, it had some problems that they just never wanted to resolve. I figured someone would make improvements.
I never cared for the WSA displaying ISPF panels. It was originally done incorrectly and never fixed. Most recently, I only used the file transfer capability. |

Agree about the GUI interface, I never used it except to demonstrate it as a technical stunt. The FILEXFER and WSCMD services were excellent. I will miss it, but I am too close to retirement to want to bend over backwards to find a solution. I will just have to get used to using an FTP client on my workstation. It’s an inferior solution, but is better than IND$FILE. |

Well this is a good use of that language but I see that know rexx is a thing that will help in certain things, and I consider that knowing that language is a thing for experts. |
If you are looking for a solution like this one
| Code: |
/* REXX */
Ret_Code = Do_My_Task_In_Full( 'Statement of Work goes here' )
If Ret_Code = 0 Then
Call Send_My_Report_To_Manager( 'Everything is fine!' )
Return Ret_Code |
then I'm sure that REXX if seriously below your expectations. |

I was not refering to that. I was refering that seing it from my point of view learn rexx will only will help me with a few things, thats the reason I say that this knowledge is for experts. But in anyway I will do a course this weekend about rexx from coursera, it is given by IBM so at least I want to know the syntax and other basic things. |
