Here's a REXX exec I came across some time ago (I don't know who
provided this):

/* REXX - BIG LETTER ROUTINE SYS1.AOSB0(IEFSD095) */           
parse arg str                                                  
Address ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPLLIB DATASET ID('SYS1.AOSB0') STACK"
  Call REXXBIG str                                             
Address ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPLLIB"                               
Exit                                                           
REXXBIG:                                                       
  Arg txt                                                      
  p1   = txt                                                   
  p4   = d2c(length(txt),4)                                    
  p567 = '        '                                            
  do i = 1 to 12                                               
    p2 = d2c(i,4)                                              
    p3 = copies(' ',length(txt) * 14 - 2)                      
    Address LINKPGM "IEFSD095 P1 P2 P3 P4 P567 P567 P567"      
    Say  p3                                                    
  end                                                          
  Say                                                          
  Return

Subject: Re: Need a program to create BLOCK Letters

Lizette,
Many years ago there was a "Block character routine" available in
library SYS1.AOSB0, named IEFSD095. This routine was (is?) used to
create the block letters for JES2 separator pages. Documentation: The
page I copied from an old manual says "Job Management - External
Writers".
I hope this gives you a starting point for further research.


Regards,
Ulrich Krueger

Subject: Need a program to create BLOCK Letters

I had one of these a long time ago written in assembler.

I am looking for a pgm that will create a BLOCK of a LETTER

For example, I pass it a T  it would produce output like this (if it
could slant it that would be very nice).

TTTTTTTTT
TTTTTTTTT
   TT
   TT
   TT
   TT


Does anyone have anything like this?  I have scaned the files in CBT
Tape but the one liners do not tell if there is such a pgm.

I did find a couple called BLOKHDR but it only created a phrase in a
block, not a block letter.
