The interpret statement is intended to simplify programming of
complicated tasks. Why are you using it to complicate the programming
of a simple task?

Okay so far.

That will break if you need lower case data. Why not
/* REXX */
parse arg cmd
address TSO
cmd
That leaves lower case alone, doesn't need doubling of apostrophes and
works fine if the name includes special characters.
I'll leave it to someone else to point out the other nasty problem
with your interpret statement.
