While not addressing your edit macro question, here's a quick rexx exec
that will convert a file to upper case:

/* rexx */
address tso
eof = 0
do while \eof
  "EXECIO 1 DISKRU THEFILE (STEM RECIN."
  if rc \= 0
    then eof = 1
  else do
    recin.1 = translate(recin.1)
    "EXECIO 1 DISKW THEFILE (STEM RECIN."
  end
end
