ARexx Features

Features of the ARexx programming language are:

• - Typeless Data - Data is treated as individual character strings and variable values are undeclared.
• - Interpreted Execution - The read-and-execute ability of ARexx skips the extra step of program compilation.
• - Automatic Resource Management - Automatic internal memory allocation removes unnecessary strings and data.
• - Tracing, Trapping, and Debugging - Tracing and trapping permit handling of errors that would normally abort the program. The debugging facilities allow you to view your entire program, reducing development and testing time.
• - Function Libraries - External function libraries provide extended, pre-programmed functions.
