Line Commands for the REXX Source Program List

Use the following line commands on the REXX Source Program List. Issue line commands from the prefix area that precedes the name of the program.

C

Compiles the program, and saves source text statements in the compiled version.

CA OPS/MVS stores the compiled version of the program in the REXX compiled program library, as specified on the REXX Source Library panel.

CN

Compiles the program, but does not save source text statements in the compiled version. Using the CN command rather than the C command reduces the amount of space taken up by the compiled program.

CA OPS/MVS stores the compiled version of the program in the REXX compiled program library, as specified on the REXX Source Library panel.

E

Takes you to ISPF edit, where you can modify the program (same as S). For details, see How to Edit a REXX Program From Option 2.4 in this chapter.

OI

Searches for the program in the data sets (if any) that are concatenated to OPSEXEC ddname. If necessary, continues its search in the data sets concatenated to SYSEXEC ddname. If the program is found, takes you to the REXX Execute Entry panel, where you can:

• Specify arguments to be passed to the program.
• Set an initial TRACE value for the execution of the program.
• Press Enter to execute the program.
• Press End to cancel execution.

For details, see How to Execute a REXX Program from Option 2.4 in this chapter.

OX

Executes the source member. When you issue the OX command, you are taken to the REXX Execute Entry panel, where you can:

• Specify arguments to be passed to the program.
• Set an initial TRACE value for the execution of the program.
• Press Enter to execute the program.
• Press End to cancel execution.

For details, see How to Execute a REXX Program From Option 2.4 in this chapter.

S

Takes you to ISPF edit, where you can modify the program (same as E). For details, see How to Edit a REXX Program from Option 2.4 in this chapter.

Point-and-shoot is enabled to Edit a Source program. To Edit a Source program using the point-and-shoot method, place the cursor to the left of the desired program and press Enter. Point-and-shoot is enabled only if no line commands have been entered.
