Hi Naveen,

My personal opinion is to sit with someone(a colleague maybe) who knows REXX and take a 1 or 2 day informal training from him/her. After that you can go through existing pieces of code and try to understand them. You can start writing simple routines at this stage. At a later point, you can go through manuals.
At least this is how, I learnt REXX.Smile
Regards,
Manas

I used this, along with TRL-2:
Modern Programming Using Rexx by Robert O'Hara and David Ross Gomberg
when I taught myself Rexx

There are quite a few books on Amazon including a Teach Yourself in 21 Days

Hi

Thanks for the inputs. I tried to buy TRL-2 from amazon, but it is not available.
Is there any ebook available for TRL-2.

Did you try Amazon.uk? They seem to have it in stock, or almost in stock as they say 11-13 days delivery in the UK
