For simple applications, in my experience, Rexx is quicker concept -> running application than is C++. The client is not always perfectly able to express his vision, so a quick prototype -> demonstrate -> prototype again cycle is very advantageous, and Rexx is great for that. If it were a complex application I would definitely use C++. Although even there (in 2012) I used assembler to accept console commands.
Not my first rodeo. I have been doing client management successfully for a looooong time. > There is nobody to review your code and ask for changes As I said in response to an earlier question, I am the master of this universe. <g> Charles -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of David Crayford Sent: Monday, June 20, 2022 10:34 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Some UNIX file usage questions I could care less about Python. What is disconcerting is why you would choose REXX/Assembler when you could write the same thing with less code and complexity using C++ which you already know. Maybe you're just having fun and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nobody to review your code and ask for changes like where I work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
