<:s><:#P25716327,P2831154>REXX is OS/2's built in programming language. Ami Pro is completely integrated with REXX. No other word processor even comes close to Ami Pro's integration with OS/2's system interface
@Bullet 1@<:s>First you can run a REXX command file directly from within Ami Pro (Look under the Tools/Macro menu)
@Bullet 1@<:s>You can call REXX command files from within Ami Pro macros
@Bullet 1@<:s>You can exchange parameters back and forth from the Ami Pro macros and REXX command files.
@Bullet 1@<:s>You can embed Ami Pro macro functions directly into a REXX CMD file.
@Bullet 1@<:s>You can also embed REXX commands directly into an Ami Pro macro
<:s><:#P25716327,P4718590>Take a look at Ami Pro's REXXFIND macro. This macro calls the OS/2 Seek and Find routine directly through REXX. It then exchanges information with the REXX function and list the files that match the criteria. Think of what you can do with an application macro language that is this tightly integrated with OS/2's system programming language.
@Subhead@<:s><:#P25716327,P943718>The Ami Pro Macro Language
<:s><:#P25716327,P3774872>With it, you can customize Ami Pro by adding menus or deleting menu items. Even create dialog boxes with Ami Pro's dialog box editor. All in a BASIC-like language. The macro documentation is available on-line under the help menu.
@Heading@<:s><:#P25716327,P1431306>DDE ( Dynamic Data Exchange)
<:s><:#P25716327,P2831154>With Dynamic Data Exchange, Ami Pro can display and update data created in any application supporting DDE. Integrated with our macro language and REXX the possibilities are endless.
@Heading@<:s><:#P25716327,P1431306>Command Line Parameters
@Subhead@<:s><:#P25716327,P943718>Start Ami Pro and let it do the rest
<:s><:#P25716327,P7549744>Ami Pro offers a host of command line parameters for starting Ami Pro and automatically performing tasks. For instance your REXX or EXE program can start Ami Pro, create a new file using any template, print the file to any printer on the network, even start macros that download data from a mainframe, process the data in 1-2-3 (which is also completely REXX enabled), format the data in Ami Pro and then mail the document automatically through Notes or cc:Mail. All this without ever pressing a key or clicking a mouse.
<:s>Some of these parameters include: (see the online help under command line for more.)
