You can start the PMREXX program and a REXX procedure from an OS/2 command prompt. You do this by typing PMREXX and a target procedure name that generates an output or input function, as follows:
PMREXX filename.CMD arguments
where the arguments and .CMD extension are optional.
Here is a REXX program named SAMPLE.CMD that calls for system environment variables to be displayed when the various arguments are indicated.
/**/ '@ECHO OFF' env = 'OS2ENVIRONMENT' Parse Arg all Do i=1 to words(all) word = translate(word(all,i)) Say If value(word,,env)='' Then Say '"'word'" is not in the environment!.' Else Say word'="'value(word,,env)'".' End
To display the current PATH and DPATH statements in the CONFIG.SYS file in a PMREXX window, type the following:
PMREXX Sample PATH DPATH
Note: You can move or size the PMREXX.EXE window or select menu-bar choices, the same way that you do with other windows.
Once the output of the REXX procedure is displayed in PMREXX, you can select the menu-bar choices to take advantage of the following PMREXX browsing features:
Menu-Bar Choice Description
File Save, Save As, and Exit the process
Edit Copy, Paste to the input, Clear the output, and Select All lines
Options Restart the process, Interactive Trace, and Set font
Actions Halt procedure, Trace next clause, Redo the last clause, and Set Trace off
Help Help index, General help, Keys help, and Using help.
