EXECIO in the early TSOE days supported only reading an entire file into an array in one shot. While VM seemed to have no gag reflex, TSOE would choke of files of substantial size. It was also awkward to convert a CLIST to a Rexx because the I/O logic was so different.
Not too long after the original implementation, TSOE Rexx was enhanced to be able to use more customary I/O logic: OPEN, READ, READ,...CLOSE. This fixed both the overload problem and the conversion problem. . . .
