Re: Wells Fargo to target midrange and mainframe

Scott,

I "fat fingered" when I wrote PSP.  I meant PGP (Pretty Good Privacy).

On REXX, nope don't mean REXEC.  I mean REXX, the IBM standard utility
language common to all IBM platforms.  It's like using CL except more
robust (CL gets closer to REXX capability in V5R3) as it's a real
language.  But, it doesn't have the restrictions of the "format"
languages.   Very quick to program in and test with since its not
compiled.   It also executes fast even though its interpretative. 

It's a free form language that's probably one of the best for string
manipulation, you can easily create matrixes, use SQL and more.   REXX
has been around since the '70s, if I remember correctly.  Lots of
examples and books written about it.   Created by an IBMer by the name
of Mike Collishaw; hope I spelled that correctly.   You should check it
out.
