Call z/OS REXX scripts that reside in a PDS from node-js with IRXEXEC
Before installing, download and install IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Node.js 16 or higher. zrexx v1.0.8 or higher is required for Node.js 18 or higher.
npm install zrexxThere are two versions of rexx calls
- file descriptor to write REXX program output to (e.g. 2 to stderr)
- fully qualified PDS name
- member name of PDS that has the REXX script
- first argument to the rexx program
- second argument to the rexx program etc. (note that to this addon does not create the __argv. stem and all the arguments are space separated, thus arguments with embedded space are not distinguishable with arguments separated by spaces.
- third etc
