REXX/CICS high-level client/server support

REXX/CICS introduces REXX language Client/Server support. REXX/CICS provides a high-level client/server capability.

This capability includes:
  • High-level, natural, transparent REXX client interface
  • Support for REXX-based application clients and servers.
Some advantages of client/server computing are:
  • The ability to effectively integrate the strengths of mainframes, mini-computers, and workstations in a transparent fashion.
  • The ability to incrementally scale the size of computers' systems up or down (right-sizing).
  • The simplification of complex application systems by breaking them down into manageable sets of clients and servers.
  • Applications and data can be distributed throughout a network for better performance, integrity, or security.
  • The ability for enterprise-wide access to data and applications, wherever they reside in the network, from a variety of unlike computer systems or workstations.
