Start REXX Script
 

Starts a REXX script. REXX is something like a batch programs for ZOC, which lets you process specific tasks automatically (see ZOC Automation).

Stop Script
 

Stops a currently running REXX script.

Edit REXX Script
 

Call the editor to modify a REXX script manually.

Encrypt REXX Script
 

Encrypts a script file in a way that it can not be read by users while still being executable by ZOC. This is useful if you are distributing scripts to customers. (Please be aware this is just a lightweight encryption method that can be reversed by an averagely talented hacker.)

Record REXX Script
 

Most of the time REXX is used automate logins. Writing these is a rather tedious and boring task that can, for the most part, be done automatically. If you select this function before calling a host, ZOC will monitor the login process and create a REXX program that handles the login automatically.
 
Note: The program will only contain the code necessary for the log in. It will not contain commands to call that host (which is normally done from the host directory and not from script).

Stop Recording
 

After you enabled script learning and logged into a host you tell ZOC to stop the learning process. ZOC will ask you for a name and store the script accordingly. The name you use can later be entered into the REXX field of a host directory entry (see Changing Host Directory Entries). Then ZOC will execute it to log you in after having established a connection to that host.
