Oh, you should be!  :^)

Seriously, REXX is positioned as a substitute/extension of CL. It's
structured and has tremendous text-handling functions. Data typing is
automatic by context, which has its good & bad points, of course. It _is_
ubiquitous on IBM platforms. Associative arrays (indexed by names, not just
numbers) are possible—something like PERL.

You don't create a REXX program. It's actually interpreted, although there
is some optimization done if your source member type is REXX—byte-code kind
of thing, I think. You use the STRREXPRC command, or you specify the source
member when creating a command, with CPP of *REXX.

I like it. It's the best thing for certain tasks, especially text-related.

Long live the KINGG!
