Description
Procedural structured language that is included with every version of OS/2 1.3 and higher, every version of IBM PC-DOS 7.0 and higher and most modern Amiga OS variants and clones. Although REXX is a generic programming language and can be (and has been) used to construct everything from simple utilities to large business applications, it is primarily used as a scripting or macro language. REXX language was created by Mike Cowlishaw of IBM Hursley in 1079 and the first implementation was shipped in 1980.
