In fact, NetRexx very nicely combines some of the best features of a production language and a scripting language.

In the next several sections, I ll use some more realistic examples to give you a glimpse of what NetRexx is capable of.

Although not shown in this example, NetRexx can automatically generate get and or set methods for properties.

Is an excellent introduction to NetRexx and a guide to many of its practical application.

NetRexx is an IBM project for compiling Rexx-like code for a Java Virtual Machine.

NetRexx is an IBM project for compiling Rexx code for a Java Virtual Machine.

Because NetRexx is fully object-oriented and modularized it is an excellent language for developing large-scale applications.

NetRexx provides exceptional support for text processing programs.

As for how this works, NetRexx is first translated to Java source then automatically compiled to class files.

NetRexx uses natural indefinite precision decimal values.

NetRexx can perform arithmetic on these strings if they represent numbers.

Again, many key NetRexx features are illustrated in the above example.

And finally, NetRexx provides the statement types summarized in Table 3.

The NetRexx form is clearly much simpler.

The caching factorial calculator shown in Listing 4 lets you see NetRexx-style class definition in action

NetRexx holds the crown for application creation, text processing, and business calculations

Some of the unique features of NetRexx as compared to the Java language are as follows

The sorting routine in Listing 5 is another example of more complex NetRexx coding

NetRexx supports indefinite precision values such as the Java language

In addition to typed variables, NetRexx offers the
