Thanks.  And now a little mystery.  The test macro:

/* Rexx */ signal on novalue;  /*
*/
trace R
address 'ISREDIT'
'MACRO (EARGS)'

/* Make no changes in comments.
*/
'EXCLUDE //* ALL 1 3'
exit( RC )

excludes the first line (the JOB statement) as well as
all comments.  If I issue the same command from the command
line rather than a macro, the JOB statement is not excluded.
If I quote the target string:

'EXCLUDE ''//*'' ALL 1 3'

the JOB statement is (correctly) not excluded.
