I read a record from a dataset. A field named A holds the string value of 'ABCD**'. I then pass the name of the variable to a routine. The routine resolved the value by name using VALUE(A). If A hold string of **, REXX thinks this is a power operation,. In Clist, you can limit the number of levels it will interprate the variable. I want REXX to return value by name without trying to resolve it and reference it like a string variable.
