Interfaces to Other Programming Languages

REXX/CICS supports (by support for CICS LINK and CICS XCTL REXX/CICS commands) the ability to invoke CICS programs written in any REXX/CICS supported language. It likewise provides the same support for the programs used to implement new REXX commands, which are defined by using the DEFCMD and DEFSCMD commands. Support is also provided to allow an EXEC CICS START to be issued from REXX execs.

DBCS Support

The full range of DBCS functions and handling techniques that are included in SAA Level 2 REXX are available to the REXX/CICS user.
