Accessing Various Command Environments Through REXX

Besides a standard set of built-in functions, the REXX programming language allows access to other command environments. A command environment is a group of non-REXX commands that your REXX programs can issue through an ADDRESS statement. These command environments provide additional functions appropriate for each environment that eliminates the need to extend or modify the basic REXX language definition for each unique implementation.
