De-compile REXX.

Postby Viswanathchandru » Thu Apr 05, 2012 9:38 pm

Dear all,

I had a couple of snipet's for my use which i compiled them and somewhere i lost the original codes. Is there a way i can decompile as we do for the assembler's. I would need to do some ground works to change the script. Is there a way i can do it. Please let me know if in case i need to share more information on this.

Regards,
Viswa

Hello Enrico! thanks for your time and reply!

I believe when i compiled i didnt give any option there which would do the IBM default NOSLINE if i'm not wrong! There starts the problem. If NOSLINE the source module would not be included in the load during compile rite? I'm now too confused:?

What does your compiled object look like?

============
This is a long shot, but might help in future endeavors.

Perhaps you had added a capability to run a trace:
parse arg parms
If POS('DEBUG', parms) > 0) Then
   Trace('r')
. . .

If so, capture a trace to get the some of program logic.

Thanks a lot Pedro! I ended up in writing the codes again and the last weekend was blue weekend for me. :(

Hello,

Everything i "write" on the mainframe, i download to my pc as an off-site backup. . . (source, jcl, control statements for sort and other utilites, etc).

This has "saved" me multiple times when someone decided to clean-up some datasets they knew nothing about. . .
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

I do the same, not only at work, but even at home on my PC running Hercules, where the potential for disasters is even larger. In addition, I also make frequent backups of all Hercules shadow disks!
