Binding a REXX Program to a CA Automation Point Session

You may need to bind a REXX program to a CA Automation Point session, temporarily dedicating the session to processing that REXX program without conflicts from other REXX programs. Binding a REXX program to a session is a good idea because multiple REXX programs could try to write to a session at the same time, causing the programs to interfere with each other.

Note: If the session is automated, you should also pause automation.

The CA Automation Point distribution media provides two REXX programs that you can call from within any other REXX program:

BIND.cmd

Gives the REXX program that calls it control of a CA Automation Point session

UNBIND.cmd

Releases the session for other processing

These programs can be found in the installDir\Distrib directory.

You can use BIND and UNBIND programs only if all of your REXX programs use them.
