The usual places - the rexx language reference manual, books. You can also download free rexx interpreters for the PC which include documentation. Just be aware that PC I/O is not the same as mainframe I/O. For the latter you use EXECIO which is documented in one of the manuals.

Is this assignment to be implemented on the mainframe or elsewhere?

Suggest you learn with a version of REXX (and the documentation) for the environment where you will be working.

For starters, you might look here:
http://www.theamericanprogrammer.com/pr ... rexx.shtml

There are several downloadable REXX tutorials.

Good luck :)
Have a good one

It is hard to believe that a search found nothing that would work for you . . .

Where did you search and what did you search for?
