: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:

:h1 res=38.Using PMREXX
: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.

: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.
