ARexx Features
Features of the ARexx programming language are:
-
- Typeless Data - Data is treated as individual character strings and variable values are undeclared.
-
- Interpreted Execution - The read-and-execute ability of ARexx skips the extra step of program compilation.
-
- Automatic Resource Management - Automatic internal memory allocation removes unnecessary strings and data.
-
- Tracing, Trapping, and Debugging - Tracing and trapping permit handling of errors that would normally abort the program. The debugging facilities allow you to view your entire program, reducing development and testing time.
-
- Function Libraries - External function libraries provide extended, pre-programmed functions.
