There's a TSO/E vector table that has the address of the REXX routines.

My advice is to write a command processor. As I said creating an LE environment

There isn’t an R0 issue. IRXINIT(‘FINDENVB’) will fetch the environment block.
All of the REXX mapping macros have been converted to C structures and can be

called). FWIW, writing external functions in C/C++ is a bad idea

have experience with Amdahl in hardware adds to my respect for your insights.

Actually, they do run our software. Almost every mainframe site runs our

the hardware. That’s the same as they claim for POWER running either AIX or
Linux on RedHat Open Shift and what HP claim for Sup
