Watcom VX*REXX
<programming, tool> A visual development environment for creating
OS/2 applications with
graphical user interfaces. It includes a project management facility, visual designer and an interactive source level debugger.
Version 2.1 introduced the VX*REXX Client/Server Edition for
client/server GUI application development on
OS/2 by incorporating
database objects.
Using
IBM's DRDA support on OS/2, users can access
DB2 for
MVS, DB2/400 for
AS/400, and DB2/VSE and VM (SQL/DS) for
VM and
VSE. Also supported are
Watcom SQL and
ODBC-enabled databases. Since the VX*REXX visual development environment is based on IBM's
object-oriented SOM technology, VX*REXX applications are open and extensible through the addition of new SOM objects.
