This time of year on the Northern hemisphere, you will likely catch a cold.
Otherwise, try it; you'll learn much better from correcting your
mistakes on your own steam.

well, this worked just perfectly...
i do have one more question...
will the STARMSG *MSGALL only trap messages that comes out of my rexx or
might it also catch anything else?
am i risking catching anything?
thanks!!!

How does the cms or cp stages trap the output? Can't i do the same in one
new pipe?
The program in my example was OFFER EXEC that contains a few "say"
statements and two CP commands.
The PIPE that I showed sets up the trap and runs the CMS commands passed to
it; in this case a single CMS command that cause the REXX program to run.
The pipeline ends when that program terminates.
You could write a new REXX program to invoke the original one, intercept
the output and pass that through a stemmed variable, for example.
/* */
address command 'PIPE literal OFFER | starmsg *msgall | substr 17-* | stem
resp.'
do i = 1 to resp.0
whatever resp.i
end
But you would be better off to modify your tools to make it more suitable
for usage in a pipe (and not prompt for input or things like that).
