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.
