[comp.lang.rexx] IPCs in REXX?

jma7759@cec1.wustl.edu (Jim Anderson) (01/14/91)

   I work on a group of interconnected IBM 370's and I now have a need
to have some REXX programs on different hosts communicate with each
other.  In the past I have kludged this type of communication by doing
such things as creating files with the data to be exchanged and then
allowing the other system to read the file.  What I am wondering now is
if there exists any Inter Process Communication facilities in REXX (it
sure seems to have just a little bit of everything else)?  I guess
my thinking on the subject is based in the UNIX world: sockets and such.

Thanks in advance.
