This sounds like an ISPF question rather than a Rexx
question.
Why are you separating the two?
(I'm not the person that separated the two, but I
have some comments.)
Perhaps because people with different areas of
expertise can answer different parts of the question?
I rarely write REXX execs that do not interface with ISPF.
For me, it's the opposite.
I've had this discussion with the REXX list owner.
There DOES need to be a place to say, "I'm working
with this, that, and t'other. Something ain't right. Is
it one of these, or the interface between them?" For
questions within REXX programs that aren't obviously
specific to ISPF, I'd agree that TSO-REXX is the correct
place, but I haven't seen the owner's comments and
rebuttals.
Under TSO, REXX without ISPF functionality is like COBOL
without packed decimal.
Not for all of us.
