I think this would be a nice enhancement.

I believe the problem here is that there is no mapping from the host command environment (HCE) name to the module name that supports/creates it. For example, rc=ejesrexx(...) initializes the 'ejes' HCE. After that, you can 'address ejes' in your REXX. If someone tried to use 'address ejes' prior to HCE creation, how would REXX know that module EJESREXX should be invoked to create it?

Perhaps a parmlib member (part of IKJTSOxx?) could contain this mapping? Another thought would be some sort of registration service that programs could use at IPL time to establish this association.
