Watcom VX*REXX <programming, tool> A visual development environment for creating {OS/2} applications with {graphical user interfaces}. It includes a project management facility, visual designer and an interactive {source level debugger}. Version 2.1 introduced the VX*REXX Client/Server Edition for {client/server} {GUI} application development on {OS/2} by incorporating {database} {objects}. Using {IBM}'s {DRDA} support on OS/2, users can access {DB2} for {MVS}, DB2/400 for {AS/400}, and DB2/VSE and VM (SQL/DS) for {VM} and {VSE}. Also supported are {Watcom SQL} and {ODBC}-enabled databases. Since the VX*REXX visual development environment is based on IBM's {object-oriented} {SOM} technology, VX*REXX applications are open and extensible through the addition of new SOM objects.
