Re: text equation

Okay, REXX is easy to use.

I created a source file called QREXXSRC and created a
member called testing.  I then entered the source code shown
below, saved it, and then did a 16 on the member.  After being
told that my argument wasn't a regular expression, I did a 16
and hit F4, then typed in 1 + 2 * 3 as the parameter.  A screen
popped up and told me 7.

Now I only have one question.  How do I run a REXX procedure
from the command line?

As it is, I now have a calculator for the AS/400.

Jim Langston
