The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Agreed. Using REXX as a command-processing program is a dream - mixed
lists and all are almost automatically parsed - fantastic! And for text
processing, there's almost nothing better - certainly on the i.
I have been working with a friend, with using REXX as a CGI language -
it's pretty clean - but it lacks the ability to retrieve environment
variables, and calls to service program procedures can't be done. So a
couple supporting RPGLE programs, and ba-da-bing!
Although I do like REXX, it's not something we'll put into our products.
There just isn't a justification for yet another language that only one
person in the company knows, and good luck finding another developer
with the knowledge!

No need to duck for that! REXX is actually a pretty nice language. I
don't think you could ask for better integration with CL on the
AS/400, so it's really a great "scripting language" in the most
literal sense. But I guess that's a topic for another day, in another
thread.
