FW: Converting PREXX to NETREXX

Hi Pat, I cannot answer your question, so I am taking the liberty of forwarding this to the NetRexx mailing list. There are people on that list that I think may be able to help.

Subject: Converting PREXX to NETREXX

I was given your email by William Munson and Thomas Plunkett. They indicated that you may be able to give me some direction. I have an application written in PREXX but as you probably know all support for PREXX was dropped quite a few years ago. We thought that we could try to convert the application to NetRexx so that we would not have to totally re-write the application. This would also take advantage of the newer technologies. The problem is on the initial compiles.

We have installed NetRexx on a Windows 2007 server platform. We download NetRexx from the IBM site. We also have JAVA installed

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

java version "1.6.0_24"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As we tried to compile the first program we found that we were missing some class definitions. Researching the issue we found we are missing the classes defined by REXXUTIL. From all I have read, this is available in the Linux and Java Virtual Machine environments but nowhere can I find how to obtain this for our set-up. REXXUTIL will provide access to the missing functions that come up in the compile.

Have we missed something when we build this environment? I see REXXUTIL.DLL referenced on the IBM site but nothing about how to obtain this for other than a Linux environment.

Any help in direction you can provide will be appreciated.

Fwd: [Ibm-netrexx] Converting PREXX to NETREXX

<base href="x-msg://1046/">Hi Pat,

NetRexx has recently been open sourced and is now governed by RexxLA. The RexxUtil functions have never been part of NetRexx, there is however a contributed package that provides them. This will be available shortly from release 3.01, on September 1st. If you need it before this time, please contact me so we can make this work.

best regards,

René Jansen,

President, Rexx Language Association.

Re: FW: Converting PREXX to NETREXX

In reply to this post by Mike Cowlishaw

Hello Pat,
I'm Thomas Schneider, and I'm the author of Rexx2Nrx, a utility devoted to comvert 'classic Rexx' to NetRexx.
You'll find the details on www,Rexx2Nrx.com.
With PRexx, are your referencing Personal Rexx ?
I did work with Personal Rexx *long time ago* (around 1997), actually it was the first time I discovered Rexx at all.

I'm still working on release 7.00 of Rexx2Nrx (5 and 6 went never public, as they have been experimental).

When after reading the current doc's on www.Rexx2Nrx.com (or www.thsitc.com/Rexx2Nrx), you feel I could help,
then send my a private mail, please.

Thomas Schneider

Re: Converting PREXX to NETREXX

Rene,

Really good news... I modified the utility source code so that I could put it into a jar. I'm now tinkering with translating a big old rexx program that I used to run on OS/2 under oorexx and the rexutil.dll... Boy this is fun. Thank you, so much. And YES, I'll be by the svn server to pickup the new sources.

Pat, If you are still on the list... That RexUtil.dll you were talking about... it looks as though you WILL be getting the functionality in NetRexx via the sysutil.class. Hope it will do all that you are looking for.

Cheers all...

As we tried to compile the first program we found that we were missing some class definitions. Researching the issue we found we are missing the classes defined by REXXUTIL. From all I have read, this is available in the Linux and Java Virtual Machine environments but nowhere can I find how to obtain this for our set-up. REXXUTIL will provide access to the missing functions that come up in the compile.

Have we missed something when we build this environment? I see REXXUTIL.DLL referenced on the IBM site but nothing about how to obtain this for other than a Linux environment.

Any help in direction you can provide will be appreciated.

Re: Fwd: [Ibm-netrexx] Converting PREXX to NETREXX

In reply to this post by Jerry McBride

Jerry,
Re mutexes (mutices? ;) ), these are built into several statements, e.g. Do ... End.

   MutexObject = Object()

   Do Protect MutexObject
      ...
   End

This is commonly used to guarantee exclusive access to an object (here, MutexObject). But in the example, the only reason for the existence of MutexObject is to act as a mutex preventing multiple entries (from other threads) to the Do ... End.

If MutexObject were a visible property, then it could be used to prevent threads simultaneously executing any methods that operate on some resource(s) that can't tolerate this. Of course all players would have to understand the purpose of MutexObject and honor it.

Search TNRL for 'protect' to see several ways similar ideas are implemented.

Hi Pat,

NetRexx has recently been open sourced and is now governed by RexxLA. The RexxUtil functions have never been part of NetRexx, there is however a contributed package that provides them. This will be available shortly from release 3.01, on September 1st. If you need it before this time, please contact me so we can make this work.

best regards,

René Jansen,

President, Rexx Language Association.

Hi Pat, I cannot answer your question, so I am taking the liberty of forwarding this to the NetRexx mailing list. There are people on that list that I think may be able to help.

Subject: Converting PREXX to NETREXX

I was given your email by William Munson and Thomas Plunkett. They indicated that you may be able to give me some direction. I have an application written in PREXX but as you probably know all support for PREXX was dropped quite a few years ago. We thought that we could try to convert the application to NetRexx so that we would not have to totally re-write the application. This would also take advantage of the newer technologies. The problem is on the initial compiles.

We have installed NetRexx on a Windows 2007 server platform. We download NetRexx from the IBM site. We also have JAVA installed

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

java version "1.6.0_24"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
