HI ALL:
What's the differences between REXX and CLIST, of course, besides the syntax.
Thanks a lot

The biggest difference I can think of is that CLIST must run in either a TSO or Netview Address space. While REXX can also run in those same address spaces, it can also run in other address spaces (MVS, DB2, CICS, Automation, etc.) as well as in USS and on other operating systems (OS/2, OS/400, Windows, Unix, and Tandem).

Thanks.
Can I consider that REXX is a substitute of CLIST and that REXX is used more widely than CLIST now.
