When You Need It Now – Getting Information Quickly with REXX

Mainframe analysts and administrators have access to a wealth of tools – report generators, ISV utilities, ISPF panels, and more. Yet these same z/OS programmers often face problems when detailed dataset or system information is required in a hurry.

Existing tools may be hard to use, requiring specific expertise or may not provide adequate detail. And requests from management for this information almost always come with the requirement that there’s no time to waste. REXX execs provide a simple yet powerful means of processing large volumes of data and distilling it into useful information.

In this webinar, we’ll take a look at the REXX facilities for accessing dataset or system-level data and how to quickly write REXX execs that can solve problems for both systems and application programmers.
