	REXX
		REXX (Restructured Extended Executor) is a programming language which was developed at IBM.
		REXX syntax looks similar to PL/I, but has fewer notations; this makes it harder to parse (by program) but easier to use.
		REXX was designed and first implemented as an ‘own-time’ project between 1979 and 1982 by Mike Cowlishaw of IBM, originally as a scripting programming language to replace the languages EXEC and EXEC 2.

		It is a structured high-level programming language which was designed to be both easy to learn and easy to read.
		REXX is included in the base operating system of OS/2, and is also used as the macro language in many applications.

	Rexx Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		REXX is a programming language designed by Michael Cowlishaw of IBM UK Laboratories.
		In his own words: "REXX is a procedural language that allows programs and algorithms to be written in a clear and structured way." REXX doesn't look that different from any other procedural language.
		What makes REXX different from most other languages is that it is also designed to be used as a macro language by arbitrary application programs.

	Vladimir Zabrodsky: An Introduction to the Rexx Programming Language
		Rexx is used as a command language for operating, dialog, database management, network systems, as a scripting language for automating and integrating applications in these systems and as a macro language for arbitrary application programs.
		Album of Algorithms and Techniques proves that the Rexx language is the suitable vehicle to writing useful, educational, and entertaining routines, translating from excellent texts, in clean, succint, and uniform code.
		All magics of the language REXX are results of a consistent application of only a few, ingeniously chosen general features.

		If your Rexx program is primarily a series of operating system commands, then it may not be a good candidate for direct portation.
		Rexx includes an instruction that allows you to determine the environment in which your program is running.

	What is programming language? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Each language has a unique set of keywords (words that it understands) and a special syntax for organizing program instructions.
		Assembly languages are similar to machine languages, but they are much easier to program in because they allow a programmer to substitute names for numbers.
		The choice of which language to use depends on the type of computer the program is to run on, what sort of program it is, and the expertise of the programmer.

		While the book is several years old and hard-to-find, it is very worthwhile if you wish to learn REXX programming.

	Open Source IBM Object Rexx is born
		Back in November 29th last year, IBM and the Rexx Language Association announced that "after several months of negotiations between RexxLA and IBM, the company agreed to further their commitment to Open Source, by releasing Object REXX to the Open Source community".
		Much earlier, the Rexx language was licensed by Commodore Business Machines, re-named "ARexx" and used extensively in its Amiga line of 16-bit and 32-bit computers, where it was used as a "glue" to script several applications together.
		Programming in Rexx was a lot of fun, and I surely miss the string manipulation routines from time to time.

	Rexx Tutorial
		Rexx is a programming language that was developed over a ten year period, with extensive personal effort by IBM's Michael Cowlishaw.
		The Rexx language, as documented in TRL-2, has numerous syntactic and semantic intricacies and nuances which are beyond the scope of this tutorial.
		TRL-2 was the basis of the American National Standards Institute's effort to standardize the definition of the REXX language.

		REXX's standard features as defined in The REXX Language are very flexible and powerful, making REXX useful for a host of applications: personal programming, batch or shell programming, program macros, and prototype development.
		All REXX functions are named according to the rules for symbols, and are executed simply by issuing their name followed by a string of arguments enclosed in parentheses.

		Anyway the end result is a relatively easy-to-understand programming language which fills a certain type of niche functionality very well.
		Rexx is sort of like a scripting or command language but it has many of the same features as a full blown programming language plus some of its own unique features.

	Open Object Rexx - About
		When a Rexx program executes, its language processor reads each statement from the source file and runs it, one statement at a time.
		In many cases the language is so embedded in the operating system that it is difficult to use outside its primary environment.
		Rexx is a language that is designed primarily for generality but also for suitability as a command programming language.

	The CMS REXX SAS/C® Interface
		Because the C language does not have subroutines or procedures, this means partitioning functions into two types that REXX recognizes as functions or as subroutines.
		When REXX calls the function directly, this entry point is responsible for restoring the C environment and transferring control to the C function.
		REXX calls a function in a function package with a parameter list in the form of an array of pairs of character pointers and integers, each pair describing a parameter.

	Standards and Specifications
		Abstract: This document defines American National Standard Programming Language PL/I and specifies both the form and interpretation of computer programs written in PL/I. The standard is intended to provide a high degree of machine independence and thereby facilitate program exchange among a variety of computing systems.
		The language is defined by specifying a conceptual PL/I machine which translates and interprets intended PL/I programs.
		It is generally compatible with ISO/IEC 9075:1989, in the sense that, with very few exceptions, SQL language that conforms to ISO/IEC 9075:1989 also conforms to this International Standard, and will be treated in the same way by an implementation of this International Standard as it would by an implementation of ISO/IEC 9075:1989...
