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.
