Like to know some good reference

[bbj]

Hi All,
I am new to rexx field. I need to develop a tool on Mainframes Using REXX & TSO/ISPF commands. Can anyone suggest some books or online materials which will be helpful for a REXX starter like me.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks,
BBJ

Look for a Copy of the Original: A Practical Approach to PRogramming by Mike Cowlishaw.

Also, the REXX books by Anthony Rudd are a good source of examples in the mainframe world.

Check on

for more information...

You also should remember that Rexx is the full screen version of exec and exec2. Look under CMS the baby brother of MVS there is a lot of information out there Look for the famous Pizza program provided by IBM ( an wexample in the back of old manuals)

Hi,
MVS TSO Part2 - Commands and Procedures is a good reference for building TSO/ISPF panels etc, it also includes some REXX as well. I have found it useful.

ISPF manuals:

I am not sure if they are accessible from outside the IBM intranet. Do try...
