Download or read book TSO CList to TSO REXX Conversion Handbook written by Gabriel Gargiulo and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the programmer who needs to convert a program written in TSO-CLIST to TSO-REXX in the z/OS TSO/ISPF environment. You need some familiarity with both languages in order to do a conversion. This book will show the correspondences, or lack of them, between CLIST language features and REXX language features. CLIST language features are shown on the left-hand page, with the corresponding REXX language feature on the facing, right-hand page.TSO-CLIST dates back to the beginning of TSO in 1971. It truly is a legacy language. IBM continues to support it, and even enhance it, because so many of its customers have active, functioning CLIST programs in use.CLIST language is found only in one environment, the z/OS TSO/ISPF environment. Experience programming with CLIST is not readily transferable to any other environment. The REXX language is found mostly in the z/OS TSO/ISPF environment, and in QMF, CICS, DOS/VSE, and Netview. Knowing REXX makes you more valuable to your employer.The number of programmers who can understand CLIST language is diminishing. It is a good business decision to convert CLIST programs, where possible, to REXX programs. I'm sure most programmers will remember the nightmare of having to fix a program that is so old that no one left alive knows what the program is expected to do.

Download or read book Practical Usage of TSO REXX written by Anthony S. Rudd and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REXX is a general purpose language which is easy to learn. It contains an extensive library of powerful functions which greatly reduces the amount of coding necessary to write applications. The use of REXX in a wide range of environments simplifies the writing of applications to run under different hardware and operating systems, and its expansibility allows other components to make sure of REXX facilities and vice versa. Practical Usage of TSO REXX provides a concise source of information for the development and implication of applications using the REXX language. The author adopts a practical approach, using lists and diagrams to illustrate relevant points. This third edition, (previously titled Practical Usage of MVS REXX), has been revised to include the new REXX features introduced for the OS/390 TSO/E environment.
Download or read book The Rexx Language on Tso written by Gabriel F. Gargiulo and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-07-13 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The REXX programming language includes built-in functions that simplify programming. REXX Functions let you manipulate data strings or do mathematics simply with a minimum of programming effort. This book explains 72 REXX functions that you can use in your REXX programs. This book is about TSO REXX functions, but we have included a few that work in CMS only. A function is a built-in feature of the REXX language. Functions are always available to you when you are writing your program. They provide an easy way to manipulate data strings or to perform arithmetic on numbers. Using functions simplifies programming and provides reliability, because the functions were created and tested by the software manufacturer (IBM.)The Index is not like most indexes that list only language features alphabetically. They are no help if you don't know the name of the language feature. This index shows the common English language name for a feature, for example, "Convert decimal number" points you to the REXX equivalent D2C. You don't have to know that D2C means "Convert decimal number to character" in order to use the index.The examples are simple and clear and will show you the different ways to invoke, or use REXX functions in a REXX program.To aid you in finding the function that you need, one chapter is devoted to listing the functions, classified by what they do. Each of the built-in functions is shown in detail with examples of use. The functions are shown alphabetically.As a bonus, I've included several supplementary chapters to make life easier for the REXX programmer:1. How to write REXX macros.2. Compatibility Issues across platforms.3. Precedence of Operators. What REXX processes first, in complex expressions?4. How to execute TSO Commands, in Native Mode (Ready Mode) TSO, in ISPF Option 6, on the command line on ISPF panels, and in batch.5. How to specify Dataset names in TSO commands. An explanation of TSO naming conventions.6. Finally, the TSO commands that you are likely to use in your REXX programs, arranged by their function, with clear and simple examples.

Download or read book Implementing REXX Support in SDSF written by Lydia Parziale and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Restructured Extended Executor (REXX) language is a procedural language that allows you to write programs and algorithms in a clear and structural way. It is an interpreted and compiled language, and you do not have to compile a REXX command list before executing it. With IBM z/OS V1.9, you can harness the versatility of REXX to interface and interact with the power of SDSF. A new function called REXX with SDSF is available that provides access to SDSF functions through the use of the REXX programming language. This REXX support provides a simple and powerful alternative to using SDSF batch. This IBM Redbooks publication describes the new support and provides sample REXX execs that exploit the new function and that perform real-world tasks related to operations, systems programming, system administration, and automation. This book complements the SDSF documentation, which is primarily reference information. The audience for this book includes operations support, system programmers, automation support, and anyone with a desire to access SDSF using a REXX interface.

Book excerpt: The practical guide for every circuit designer creating FPGA designs with Verilog Walk through design step-by-step-from coding through silicon. Partitioning, synthesis, simulation, test benches, combinatorial and sequential designs, and more. Real World FPGA Design with Verilog guides you through every key challenge associated with designing FPGAs and ASICs using Verilog, one of the world's leading hardware design languages. You'll find irreverent, yet rigorous coverage of what it really takes to translate HDL code into hardware-and how to avoid the pitfalls that can occur along the way. Ken Coffman presents no-frills, real-world design techniques that can improve the stability and reliability of virtually any design. Start by walking a typical Verilog design all the way through to silicon; then, review basic Verilog syntax, design; simulation and testing, advanced simulation, and more. Coverage includes: Essential digital design strategies: recognizing the underlying analog building blocks used to create digital primitives; implementing logic with LUTs; clocking strategies, logic minimization, and more Key engineering tradeoffs, including operating speed vs. latency Combinatorial and sequential designs Verilog test fixtures: compiler directives and automated testing A detailed comparison of alternative architectures and software-including a never-before-published FPGA technology selection checklist Real World FPGA Design with Verilog introduces libraries and reusable modules, points out opportunities to reuse your own code, and helps you decide when to purchase existing IP designs instead of building from scratch. Essential rules for designing with ASIC conversion in mind are presented. If you're involved with digital hardware design with Verilog, Ken Coffman is a welcome voice of experience-showing you the shortcuts, helping you over the rough spots, and helping you achieve competence faster than you ever expected
