- :i1.PMREXX
- :i1.About PMREXX
- :p.Use PMREXX to run and debug REXX procedures.
- :p.
- PMREXX is a windowed
- application that runs a REXX procedure.
- Any results displayed by the REXX procedure
- are displayed in the PMREXX window.
- You
- can use the scroll bar to view any previous output that
- has not been cleared.
- :p.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 :hp1.REXX
- Information:ehp1..
- :p.
- For more information about starting and using PMREXX, select these topics:
- :ul compact.

- :i1.using PMREXX
- :i1.starting PMREXX
- :i1.arguments, specifying
- :i1.specifying arguments
- :p.
- To start PMREXX, enter PMREXX from an OS/2 command prompt followed
- by the name of a REXX procedure to run:
- :xmp.
- pmrexx myprog
- :exmp.
- :p.
- You can also supply arguments for the REXX procedure.
- In this example, PMREXX runs the procedure MYPROG and
- passes MYPROG the argument c&colon.\test\test.data&colon.
- :xmp.
- pmrexx myprog c&colon.\test\test.data
- :exmp.
- :p.
- PMREXX runs the REXX procedure and displays any output generated
- by it in a scrollable output box that is part of the
- PMREXX window.
- If the procedure prompts you for input, the prompt
- is displayed in the output box, but you type the response
- in the smaller input box near the top of the PMREXX window.
- :p.
- To try it, start another OS/2 session and create this REXX procedure:
- :xmp.
- /* DIRTEST.CMD -- displays directory contents */
- do forever
- say 'Enter the name of a directory'
- parse upper pull response
- if response='QUIT' then leave
- 'dir' response
- end
- exit
- :exmp.
- :p.
- Then start PMREXX again for the DIRTEST procedure:
- :xmp.
- pmrexx dirtest
- :exmp.
- :p.
- When the PMREXX window is displayed, you will see the prompt in
- the output box.
- Position the cursor in the input box, type the name of a
- directory, and press Enter.
- The contents of the directory will be listed in the output
- box, and another prompt will be displayed.
- :p.
- When amount of displayed output exceeds the size of the output
- box, a slider box appears in the scroll bar.
- :p.
- To end the DIRTEST program, enter QUIT in the input box.
- :p.

- :i1.restarting a REXX procedure
- :i1.REXX procedures, restarting
- :p.
- To use PMREXX as a miniature development environment for your
- procedures, run PMREXX in one OS/2 session and an editor in another
- session.
- :p.
- Use the editor to change and save the procedure being developed.
- Then switch to the PMREXX session to run the modified procedure.
- :p.
- You can restart a procedure from PMREXX by
- selecting :hp2.Trace:ehp2. from the action bar in the PMREXX window.
- If the procedure is running, select :hp2.Halt procedure:ehp2. to stop
- it,
- then
- select :hp2.Restart:ehp2. from the menu.
- Otherwise, just select :hp2.Restart:ehp2..
- The latest version of the procedure will run again.

- :h1 res=39.Tracing REXX Procedures
- :p.
- :i1.tracing REXX procedures
- :i1.debugging REXX procedures
- :i1.REXX procedures, debugging
- :i1.REXX procedures, tracing
- :i1.interactive trace
- PMREXX includes several functions that are useful for debugging
- your procedures.
- You can, for instance, start an interactive trace from PMREXX without
- having to add a TRACE instruction to your procedure.
- Select :hp2.Trace:ehp2. on the action bar, and then select
- :hp2.Interactive trace on:ehp2..
- A check mark on the menu shows that interactive tracing is on.
- To stop the interactive trace, just select :hp2.Interactive trace on again:ehp2..
- One advantage of using the interactive trace from PMREXX is that you can turn
- the trace on and off while the program is running.
- :p.
- Once tracing is active, you can step through your procedure one clause at
- at time, re-do a clause that was just processed, or enter a line of REXX
- clauses for immediate processing.
- The ability to enter REXX clauses is especially useful if you want to
- try a fix to a problem interactively or if you want to test
- instruction paths that are otherwise difficult to trigger.
- For example, you might want to test some error handling instructions,
- but cannot easily create the condition that would cause the error.
- By using the interactive trace, you can add REXX instructions
- at the right moment to fake the conditions that would cause the error
- handling instructions to be processed.
- :p.
- To process a line of one or more REXX clauses, type the line in the
- PMREXX input box when tracing is active and press ENTER.
- For example, you could enter:
- :xmp.
- do i=1 to 10; say 'hello' i; end
- :exmp.
- :p.
- The line is processed before the next REXX clause in the program is processed.
- If you simply want to step ahead to the next clause, press Enter
- without typing anything in the input area.
- You can also step ahead by selecting :hp2.Trace next clause:ehp2.
- from the :hp2.Trace:ehp2. menu.
- If you want to process the last REXX clause again,
- select
- :hp2.Re-do last clause:ehp2. from the :hp2.Trace:ehp2.menu.
- :p.
- To stop tracing, select
- :hp2.Trace off:ehp2. from the :hp2.Trace:ehp2..
- This item is not selectable
- when the REXX procedure is waiting for user input.
- In this case select :hp2.Interactive trace on:ehp2. again to stop the
- trace.
- :p.
