This page contains an alphabetical list of all of the macros in listed with brief descriptions with links to detailed descriptions and lthe macros themselves(coding). Macros that check syntax Macros that manipulate data Symbols (HTML escape characters) Please sign my guestbook with comments you don't mind being public: [View Guestbook] [Sign Guestbook from REXX] About Me Description : REXX macros for the programmer who is already using or is familiar with any of the following: REXX, MVS, SPF, ISPF, PDF, PDS file, OS/2, or SPF/PC on mainframe or PC's. Macros at this site were written in REXX by David McRitchie to provide functions such as reformatting text; simple syntax checks for PLI, DCF, GML, HTML, SCRIPT/VS; interface to spell check, SuperC comparison, file directory list; customized search/change an interface to DCF, and SuperC from a member in edit, and of a group of files or members. Keywords : REXX, macros, toolbox, MVS, SPF/PC, ISPF, TSO, mainframe, OS/2 As an applications programmer and as a systems programmer my main language for writing programs was PLI . I also did a lot of work in DCF ( SCRIPT/VS , GML ), and REXX . You will not find any PLI or DCF at this site, but you will find macros to help you with these What you will find is a lot of REXX macros and executes that I wrote and used to help me write my programs, check the syntax in coding, and work with partitioned datasets. There are also a few clists that I never got around to converting, the most notable of which is @DIR and is one of the most important ones. You will find macros to check paired relationships including use of quotes in checking syntax in PLI , DCF , GML , SCRIPT/VS , HTML , or anything else for which you can define paired relationships. Macros that check syntax include editchek , editol , HTMLOL , HTMLSYN , period , plichk . Macros that point out possible errors but expect you to interact include period , fixpi , and fixquote .

The following table attempts to categorize macros that can be seen in greater detail at macros and executes on the fourth stop (main stop) on the tour. The hypertext there is set up for viewing of the documentation, and TSO and PC versions of the macros. All of the macros are listed there in alphabetical order.
