Not really. Rexx, supplied by IBM, supports at least 3 different
linkage conventions:
address LINK, which seems to have arisen from CMS.
address LINKPGM, which has no constraints on parameter format or length.
This is used by SYS1.SAMPLIB(CSFTEST).
address LINKMVS, which follows the convention you describe, limiting the
paremeter length to 32767.
