REXX with CPICOMM for zOs environment

[Cirqueira]

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the use of ADDRESS CPICOMM for communication between two programs in REXX and could you kindly show an example or indicate a manual with an example that is real?

[Pedro]

I have not used it. And the only example I found was pretty useless:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?t ... s-services

I do not think REXX is mentioned much, but the CPI comm architecture is described here:

No, but I have a working sample for a TCP client/server app in REXX. Origin was TCPIP.SEZAINST(RSSERVER) and TCPIP.SEZAINST(RSCLIENT).

Hello Guys...


Pedro, unfortunately the IBM examples don´t work, but I'll read the second suggested manual and see if we have any light, thanks.

Willi, thanks for the tip to use client/server TCP, I'll analyze th codes and try to use them.

Willi,

Finally an exemple (TCP RSCLIENT/RSSERVER) that works well, thanks for the tip.

Glad that you found it. Personally I would choose TCP over APPC any day.
