Re: text equation

["Eric Panissard" <EPanissard@xxxxxx>]

Hi Jim,

I tried REXX too on my side.
It' seems that I was looking for.
To execute REXX source from the command line you need to use STRREXPRC
I tried it and it works fine, also you can use this command inside a CL
program
Now I am looking for how to retrieve the result inside my CL program and how
to skip
the REXX screen. I only need a result not an interactive screen.
