ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for PMREXX ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use PMREXX to run and debug REXX procedures. PMREXX is a windowed application
in which you can display the output from a REXX procedure and from any programs
called by the REXX procedure. You can use the scrollbar to view any previous
output that has not been cleared.
PMREXX also provides a single line input field so that you can supply input to
the REXX procedure or to any commands called by the REXX procedure. For more
information about using REXX procedures, see REXX Information.
