RexxUtil is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which provides the OS/2* REXX programmer with many versatile functions. Primarily, these functions deal with the following:
o
RexxUtil requires that you are already running under OS/2 2.1 (or a later version of OS/2) with OS/2 Procedures Language 2/REXX installed.
To be able to use a RexxUtil function in a REXX program, you must first add the function using the built-in function RxFuncAdd.
Example:
call RxFuncAdd 'SysCls', 'RexxUtil', 'SysCls'
The above example would add the SysCls function so that it can be used.
The RexxUtil function, SysLoadFuncs, will automatically load all RexxUtil functions. To do this from within a program, add the following instructions:
call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs' call SysLoadFuncs
Once the RexxUtil functions are loaded by SysLoadFuncs they are usable by all OS/2 sessions.
The RexxUtil functions are listed when you select the + sign beside this topic in the Contents.
