Open Source Rexx Software Development Software

Home of the Open Object Rexx Project. ooRexx is the open source version of IBM's Object REXX Interpreter. It is upwardly compatible with classic REXX and will execute classic REXX programs unchanged. The project is managed by the Rexx Language Association.

An implementation of the the ANSI Standard REXX Programming Language, available for most operating systems.

BSF4Rexx version for ooRexx 4.1.0 and later, exploiting the new ooRexx kernel (e.g. allowing implementation of Java methods in ooRexx, callbacks from Java to ooRexx). [Camouflages Java as the dynamically typed, caseless and easy to use ooRexx.]

Rexx/SQL is a Rexx external function package that allows access to various SQL databases with the same interface. Multiple databases from different vendors may be connected at once.

NokiX is a tool used to modify firmwares of the Nokia DCT3 phone series. To do that it uses external scripts written in Rexx language. NokiX isn't actively developed by the author anymore, the project homepage is for archival purposes only.

Rexx/CURL is a Rexx extension to enable Rexx programmers to control the cURL interface.

Rexx/DW is an external function package for Rexx programmers providing a cross platform GUI toolset. The underlying GUI package is Dynamic Windows.

GCI is the Generic Call Interface for REXX interpreters. GCI allows REXX programmers access to all shared libraries (aka DLLs) where there are no REXX-specific wrappers.

Rexx/Tk is a Rexx external function package providing an interface to the Tk library. This allows Rexx programmers write portable, cross-platform GUI applications.

Rexx/PDF is a Rexx interface to the libharu PDF library. This interface allows a Rexx programmer to generate PDF documents by insertion of text, lines and images

NetRexx is a dialect of the REXX programming language to run on the Java virtual machine. It supports a classic REXX syntax, with no reserved keywords, along with considerable additions to support object-oriented programming in a manner compatible with Java's object model, yet can be used as both a compiled and an interpreted language, with an option of using only data types native to the JVM or the NetRexx runtime package. Originally from IBM, NetRexx is the creation of Mike Cowlishaw, the 'Father of Rexx'. This IBM product has been open sourced in 2011.

Rexx/EEC is a Rexx external function package providing support for the Encryption, Encoding and Compression of data. Equivalent functions exist for Decryption, Decoding and Decompression.

An XML parser written in the REXX programming language. It runs on mainframes (z/OS Rexx) as well as Windows and Linux (Regina or ooRexx). Includes example Rexx programs that use the parser such as: JCL2XML (converts z/OS JCL into an XML format), AUX2SVG (converts a z/OS CICS auxiliary trace file into a visual SVG format), PRETTY (an XML pretty printer), DEVISIO (an example of removing unwanted tags from an SVG file).

Wrapper library for adding MySQL support into the REXX language. Libraries are written in C and then imported into REXX scripts. Once imported REXX scripts can access most of the functions of the MySQL C API through REXX.

Rexx/Curses is an interface to the curses library. With this external function package, Rexx programmers can write cross-platform applications with a consistent textual user interface.

Rexx/gd is a Rexx interface to the gd graphics library. This interface allows a Rexx programmer to create and manipulate graphics images.

Aegeus brings the Open Object Rexx (ooRexx) API to Delphi Pascal programmers. A Delphi program (GUI or Console) can invoke any ooRexx service provided by the API and ooRexx Programs can invoke Delphi functions and subcommands.

PLEASE NOTE: this package is meant to work with the Rexx SAA interface (e.g. with Regina) and non-modular Java (up to and including Java 8LTS). Project continued as a much more powerful and up-to-date version for ooRexx, available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/ PURPOSE: Bean Scripting Framework Rexx Engine (bsf4rexx) allows Java programs to call Rexx programs, and for Rexx programs to create and manipulate Java objects. The package will allow to script OpenOffice.org: "File" menu https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4rexx/files/ or if still available at http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/current/

This is a self-contained, multiplatform (Java written) application that analyzes and documents Rexx and ooRexx programs. The generated documentation is hyperlinked HTML and prints nicely (check printing background in your browser). If using ooRexxDoc-comments (like JavaDoc @-tags) the automatic generated documentation can be enhanced considerably to become fully stand-alone.

The Object REXX GTK+ Project provides a modal dialog manager interface to the GTK+ library from IBM's Object REXX. The project consists of a set of REXX external functions and an Object REXX class library which wraps those functions.

Open Source of REXX commands for PHP, in includable .php file. Let's you use native REXX commands in your PHP code files. Will also create class module version later on.

This RXVSAM is NOT found on the CBT. This interface allows z/OS REXX scripts to easily perform most operations on VSAM files. Support includes sequential/keyed access and updating to RRDS, ESDS, and KSDS files, via function call RXVSAM(). OS/390, z/OS

This project provides a framework to develop applications using Rexx.

Wrapper to run Regina Rexx as a Windows service. Should also support other Rexx versions, especially ooRexx.

Rexx/CSV is a Rexx external function package that makes reading and writing to CSV (comma separated values) files easier.
