Primary Commands for the Compiled REXX Program List

The following table describes the primary commands you may use on the Compiled REXX Program List. Issue primary commands from the Command field.

BROWSE progname

Lets you browse the source version of progname.

COMPALL or COMPALL NOSOURCE

Recompiles all of the compiled REXX programs in the list. Specify the NOSOURCE keyword if you do not want CA OPS/MVS to save source text statements in the recompiled versions.

Note: Specifying NOSOURCE reduces the amount of space taken up by a compiled program.

COMPILE progname or COMPILE progname NOSOURCE

Recompiles progname. Specify the NOSOURCE keyword if you do not want CA OPS/MVS to save source text statements in the recompiled version.

Note: Specifying NOSOURCE reduces the amount of space taken up by the compiled program.

DELETE progname

Deletes progname from the REXX compiled program library.

EDIT progname

Takes you to ISPF edit, where you can modify progname (same as SELECT). For details, see How to Edit a REXX Program from Option 2.5 in this chapter.

EXECUTE progname or OX progname

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

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

For details, see How to Execute a REXX Program from Option 2.5 in this chapter.

Note: When you issue the EXECUTE command, CA OPS/MVS begins its search for progname in the data sets that are concatenated under OPSEXEC ddname, which are the compiled REXX program libraries. If there are no libraries allocated to OPSEXEC ddname (or if CA OPS/MVS cannot find the program in the allocated libraries), it continues its search in those libraries allocated to SYSEXEC ddname.

LOCATE progname

Scrolls the list so that the line referring to progname is at the top of the panel.

SELECT progname

Takes you to ISPF edit, where you can modify progname (same as EDIT). For details, see How to Edit a REXX Program from Option 2.5 in this chapter.
