It's been years since I've used TSO EDIT. I've certainly never tried to do
it since REXX came out, so I don't have the answer to your question. But I
really can't see any advantage to teaching an old technology which as you
said yourself is 'arcane'.
IMHO, it would be FAR better to teach people how to call an edit macro than
how to put TSO EDIT commands 'in-stream' in a CLIST. There are SO many
advantages to calling an edit macro, just one of which is that it solves
your problem of being available both in CLIST and REXX.

Subject: TSO EDIT command
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 12:10:12 -0600
In our TSO CLIST course, we include a brief discussion
of the [rather arcane] TSO EDIT command; it is clear
I can include an edit command followed by various
edit subcommands in a CLIST.
But I have trouble accomplishing the same work in
a REXX exec. I've tried emulating the CLIST approach
(edit command followed by lines with edit subcommands)
and PUSHing the edit subcommands on the stack before
issuing the edit command. To no avail.
Looks like I'll have to call a CLIST to get that
work done. Anyone able to shed any light on this one?
Kind regards,
-Steve Comstock
