Rexx Language Support

The Rexx Language Support plugin leverages the language server protocol to provide syntax awareness, syntax coloring and autocomplete features for Rexx code. Files with the extensions .rex, .rexx, .zrx and .rxj are recognised as Rexx files.

Prerequisites

  • Java version 11 or higher.

Features

The Rexx Language Support plugin enables the following features:

Autocomplete

Autocomplete speeds up the coding process by suggesting the most likely keywords to follow existing code. The plugin provides autocomplete functionality for all Rexx keywords.

Autocomplete

You can configure autocomplete to suggest keywords in lower case, upper case, title case, or detect the case automatically from other keywords in the code. Go to the extension settings and set the rexx-lsp.keyword.textcase variable.

Syntax Check

This feature checks for mistakes and errors in Rexx code. The syntax check feature reviews the whole content of the code and underlines any errors.

Autocomplete

Syntax Coloring

Contrasting colors are used in displayed code for ease of identifying and distinguishing keywords, variables, operators, operands and comments.
