Macro/Scripting Language

SPFPC versions 3 - 5 include REXX/2 as the macro/scripting language. Includes ISPEXEC and ISREDIT extensions for use with IBM Panels/Dialogs.

SE versions 1 - 8/365 use a C like macro/scripting language that is very easy to use.

All versions of SPF have the ability to call any interpreter (REXX, PHP, BASIC, Powershell, etc.) from within the editor allowing text processing and OS command calls.
