subject: Re: ?Passing information to Rexx

Hello Andrew,

 AF> I would like to pass information from an exe (written in C) to a
 AF> REXX batch. Has anybody got an idea how this can be done?
 AF> I don't know anything about Rexx but am fairly good with C.
 AF> An example or a pointer where I can find information on this topic

the electronic developpers magazine (EDM/2) has two articles by Gordon
W. Zeglinski in Vol 1 / Issues 6, 7 (Rexx-exercising Your Applications)

quoted from the introduction:

 After reading this article, you should: 

  1. Understand a bit more about how .cmd files are executed. 
  2. Know how to start Rexx/2 from within an application. 
  3. Be able to extend Rexx/2 by adding your own external functions to it. 

 AF> would make me really happy. (I'm using IBMs C Set++, perhaps it's
 AF> hidden somewhere in the .infs)

try looking up RexxStart in the "Procedures Language 2/REXX Reference".
The Developpers Toolkit came with some examples too (I think this is
part of IBMs C Set++).
