If no environment is given as argument then the default Rexx environment is star-
ted.
The default can be specified with the HREXX_PACKAGE environment variable (for
details see chapter
default package used.
ENABLE can be abbreviated as ‘ENA’.
START
This is the same as ENABLE. START can be abbreviated as ‘STA’.
DISABLE
Disables the currently active Rexx environment. This option is only available if Her-
cules is built with support for both Regina and ooRexx and cannot be used in a
single Rexx environment.
DISABLE can be abbreviated as ‘DIS’.
STOP
This is the same as DISABLE. STOP can be abbreviated as ‘STO’.
REGINA
Given as argument to the ‘START’ or ‘ENABLE’ options, REGINA specifies that the
Regina Rexx environment has to be started.
OOREXX

Open Object Rexx (ooRexx) environment has to be started.
PATHS
This is the keyword for specifying the search path(s) for the Rexx scripts. PATHS
can be abbreviated as ‘PATH’.
REXXPATHS
This is the same as PATHS. REXXPATHS can be abbreviated as ‘REXXP’.
path
A path (or a list of paths, separated by a delimiter) in which Rexx executables will
be searched. If the path is not specified when activating the Rexx environment then
the default used is the current path taken from the environment variable ‘PATH’.
SYSPATH
Keyword for specifying if the search for the Rexx executables should be extended
to the system paths used for executables (when set to on ‘ON’) or if it should be
limited to the defined PATHS / REXXPATHS (when set to ‘OFF’).
EXTENSIONS
This is the keyword for specifying the filename extension(s) to be used to search
the Rexx executables. EXTENSIONS can be abbreviated as ‘EXT’.
If a given script name is in the format filename.extension then it is used as is with-

SUFFIXES
This is the same as EXTENSIONS. SUFFIXES can be abbreviated as ‘SUF’.
suffix

‘ .rex’ , ‘.CMD’, ‘.cmd’, ‘.RX’ and ‘.rx’.
delimiter
This is the delimiter used for separating multiple paths or multiple extensions. For
Linux and Mac OS-X systems this is the colon (“:”), for Windows systems it is the
semicolon (“;”).
