Overview: Recording REXX EXECs
Using the EPI recording and playback options makes designing REXX automation EXECs for VTAM application sessions easier. The EPI generates a REXX EXEC containing generic routines to simplify these programming tasks:
- Finding a text string in the current session screen image
- Converting the text, if found, into REXX variables
- Fetching a screen using the GETSCRN command processor
- Pasting a sample copy of the screen image into the REXX EXEC
- Issuing commands or sending text strings to the session through SESSCMD command processors
- Monitoring the status of the current session
- Verifying that a screen image contains certain data
