Hello,
as we compile our rexx code , we get an executable module , but the rexx code is readable with some little modification .
is it possible to avoid this ? compile option ? other ?

regards

Hello,

Why does someone believe the code should not be readable?

Is there is a business requirement to do this or is this just personal preference?

If the OP is developing commercial software, it would be rather unwise to distribute the source...

Hello,

I find a good ibm presentation from 2007, with some compile options to resolve my problem

Do you mind providing the link, for others with a similar requirement in the future?
