REXX

REXX is a powerful scripting language used in many of IBM's platforms. It is generally interpreted and is suitable for small-volume tasks. It is easy to learn and user-friendly. Often used to create batch files that execute system commands, such as TSO Line Mode commands or TSO/ISPF Services commands.

For answers of greater depth, look at these REXX books. The only current book on TSO/ISPF Dialogue Manager, the only current book on REXX for TSO.
