EasyRule Basics

Use the CA OPS/MVS EasyRule facility to build rules without the need for programming.

EasyRule is a panel-driven rule generator, offering a fill-in-the-blanks approach to building a CA OPS/MVS rule. EasyRule not only makes generating rules fast and easy, but it also makes updating them quick and convenient.

Because you can use EasyRule to generate complex rules, even the most experienced REXX programmer will appreciate the savings in labor that EasyRule provides for producing sophisticated programming. In addition, the rules that you create with EasyRule are readily available for tailoring and maintenance.

The REXX code generated by EasyRule contains descriptive REXX comments describing the conditions and actions being performed. This makes generated REXX code easier to understand. It also makes EasyRule more useful as a way for someone unfamiliar with the REXX language to learn REXX.
