You need some familiarity with both languages in order to do a conversion.\u003cbr\u003eThis book will show the correspondences, or lack of them, between CLIST language features and REXX language features. CLIST language features are shown on the left-hand page, with the corresponding REXX language feature on the facing, right-hand page.\u003cbr\u003eTSO-CLIST dates back to the beginning of TSO in 1971. It truly is a legacy language. IBM continues to support it because so many of its customers have active, functioning CLIST programs in use.\u003cbr\u003eCLIST language is found only in one environment, the z\/OS TSO\/ISPF environment. Experience programming with CLIST is not readily transferable to any other environment. The REXX language is found mostly in the z\/OS TSO\/ISPF environment, and in QMF, CICS, DOS\/VSE, and Netview. Knowing REXX makes you more valuable to your employer.\u003cbr\u003eThe number of programmers who can understand CLIST language is diminishing. It is a good business decision to convert CLIST programs, where possible, to REXX programs.\u003cbr\u003eI'm sure most programmers will remember the nightmare of having to fix a program that is so old that no one left alive knows what the program is expected to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel F.
