Using OPS/REXX › Characteristics of OPS/REXX Programs › Explicit and Implicit Program Execution

Explicit and Implicit Program Execution

The only difference between implicit and explicit program execution is how you specify the name of the program to execute and where OPS/REXX looks for the name:

• With explicit execution, you supply the name of the data set containing the program.
• With implicit execution, you provide only a program name. OPS/REXX then locates that program in the library or libraries allocated to ddname OPSEXEC or SYSEXEC.
