De gustibus non disputandem est. I find REXX easies to use for simple
applications, use Perl for more complicated cases and would be most
uncharitable to anyone who tried to convince me to use the POSIX
shell. Of course, a tool like ISPF File Tailoring makes it easier
regardless of the language used.

No, but you can parse the input and request substitution.
