REXX Command

The REXX command queues a REXX program for processing by CA Automation Point. You can also use the REXX command within a REXX program to start another, independent REXX program.

This command has the following format:

"REXX 'execname args'"
execname

Specifies the name of the REXX program for CA Automation Point to execute.

args

Specifies the calling arguments for the specified REXX program.

Note: The length of the argument list (REXX program name and its arguments) is limited to 505 characters. An incoming argument list longer than 505 characters is truncated.

Example:

The following command invokes a REXX program called XCDEMO with the argument GETMSG:

"REXX 'XCDEMO GETMSG'"
