Steve, A couple of ideas to help debug :
(1) Run the exec under dialog test and turn on all ISPF function tracing - take a look at the ISPF LOG and see if anything stands out. (2) Issue TSO "ISPVCALL ON" before running the exec and then "TSO ISPVCALL" again afterwards - maybe something will stand out in the trace output.

Does the exec work in batch? If so - what happens? <SNIP> There is very little difference in the concats. My userid.CLIST has the REXX being worked on (the one in question) and the typical (for this shop) local routines for userid specific logon allocations. The DCB attributes haven't changed. The REXX in question works just fine (from the environment's point of view) when invoked as a subroutine. But when I do it as the top routine, ISPF falls over with U0999. When any of my coworkers run it, no problem!!! The problem first showed up when I was running TRX (which is how all of us run normally). So I took out TRX and it worked. I left this REXX to fix something else and then this REXX started falling over when I came back to it (with TRX out of the system). OK, now for the batch question. Ran just fine. And it looks like it will be easier to put the new functionality in using batch (makes them traces easier to take) -- wish I'd thought of this earlier. But I'd like to know why I'm so blessed. This one I can't chalk up to being ugly and my mother dressing me funny. I don't have to tie my shoes any more, I get to use Velcro. However, these extra long sleeves do get in the way from time to time.
