This page shows a list of some of our Rexx execs that we want to make available.

We would definitely recommend the use of Rexx over clist and we thoroughly recommend Michael Cowlishaw's book " The Rexx Language: A Practical Approach To Programming". It is a wonderful reference book, in it's own right and an invaluable learning tool when it comes to Rexx 'how to' type questions.

Some of them will need tailoring to meet your own site requirements but we have placed comments in them to identify which lines need to be changed. You may also require a copy of our prepped ISPF panels which are available here. If you would like the source code to the panels please contact us directly and we will make them available to you.

As ever you are free to use this code but please read our disclaimers and copyright information.

A full TSO XMI file of all the code is available here.

If you prefer an IEBUPDTE version of the file, it is available here

In addition to these Rexx Execs we have made available some of our Edit Macros. These are available here


Name
Description
STRCOUNTCounts the number of occurrences of one string in another.

It will return a count of the string along with the position of the first occurrence of the string. If the string doesn't exist the result for both Count and FirstPos will be 0.

STRREPLThis routine replaces a string of text with a replacement string within a given string.

For example to replace the word 'Red' with the word 'Green' in string 'My favorite colour is Red' code:
STRREPL('My favorite color is Red','Red','Green')

Note: That case is sensitive.

USERNAMEThis routine will return the name of the TSO user currently executing the EXEC. It will call the Rexx EXEC, PROPER to format the name correctly.

VALIDIPValidates the format of a passed IP Address and checks that it is a valid format.

VALIDMEMValidates the passed member name for correct format

VALIDQThis exec will validate that a passed queue name is in the correct for format for a WebsphereMQ queue. The following are the possible return codes from the exec.

    Return Codes :
  • 0 - Queue name is valid
  • 4 - Help displayed
  • 8 - Queue name invalid, Starts with a space
  • 16 - Length of queue name is too long
  • 20 - Invalid character in queue name

VALIDVOLValidates a passed volume serial number. The volume serial number must follow IBM naming standards and has to be online in order to be considered valid.
VALIDVOL requires our assembler program ASLVTOC.

XMTA Rexx utility for helping to create XMIT files ready for file transfering.

It has many features including, filtering members, creating a log and/or an index, allowing messages to be added to the file, doing multiple files in one execute.
