RXSYSFN for VM/370


 

I've just updated ?with the results of my work to create a Rexx system-level function package for the various VM/370 R6s.? I have specifically tested it with both bREXX 1.0.1 (as shipped in VM/370 CE 1.1) and the first beta of bREXX 1.1.0 (as I announced last month).? In combination with a small change to the bREXX DATE() function (to add BASEDATE), this brings bREXX fully up to the Rexx 3.40 level (with considerable additional function from higher levels).

This package provides the DIAG() and DIAGRC() functions that VM/SP (and later) had, with the exception of C8 and CC (because VM/370 CP doesn't have those DIAGnoses).

I intend to package this for inclusion in the next release of VM/370 CE, but it should work on any VM/370 system that can already run bREXX 1.0.1.? If you want to use it before that, or with another VM/370 system, you can download the ZIPped VMARC file from the GitHub issue.? It contains the full source and MODULE, including a few CMS macro changes that were necessary (and which are teed up for the next VM/370 CE release).
