HI
i am just a beginner in rexx,I have just done some programming on rexx in MAINFRAMES.
i came to know that some Programming can be done with REXX and Javascript.I have two questions to ask.My question is as follows.

1)Can we able to access a REXX EXEC available in the MVS(that is in the ps or pds member ) system using the javascript?
2)or if some input given from the html page can be passed to the REXX EXEC available in the MVS SYSTEM .

If these things are possible,please let me know how.

looking forward for your replies

No. You cannot directly interact MVS REXX with Javascript in Unix server or Microsoft servers.

vjkumk, I have gone thru the link on a highlevel and there he says
Quote:
Rexx invokes ftp to publish the report to your web server.

The data is converted thru some Macros or Routines which will generate a HTML file in mainframes. That will be FTPed to any server. I think SAS using ODS HTMLwill coverted a MF file into a HTML page very easily. Even thru FILEAID you can convert the file into a XML page. Then you need to FTP to any webserver to publish the page.

The below is mentioned in the LINK you gave
Quote:
Batch jobs changed to print to specific, dedicated output class. Rexx scripts installed and running on a scheduled basis after batch jobs, against dedicated output class and converting output to HTML. Converted reports being sent via ftp to an NT server.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You can certainly write CGI programs in Rexx, and those execs can access the Unix or MVS file systems, but that has nothing to do with JavaScript. That is a function of the web server. There is no native implementation of JavaScript on the mainframe. Are you just refering to HTML forms?
