Full Discussion: Equivalent of Rexx Interpret?
Operating Systems AIX Equivalent of Rexx Interpret? Post 302238278 by OldManRiver on Friday 19th of September 2008 12:27:30 PM

Talking REXX
All,

We are talking REXX, right? $ is not allowable in vars in REXX, so what are we talking?

Both "eval" and "interpret" work in REXX, but they have different formats, so you need to look in the manual for your version of REXX. There are several versions such as:

PREXX - Personal REXX
Regina - Another Personal REXX
OO-REXX - Official OO Rexx version (good docs)

Once you install you will enter "rexx cmdfile" at command line or for OO rexx enter the OO shell and execute the project. You can actually use OO rexx either way.

To display on screen, via command line, the "say" command, similar to PHP "echo" is used. Not eval or interpret.

Actually your script looks more like a PHP or PERL script than REXX. Is that what you are trying to do?

Let us know what else to help.
