in fact, IKJPARS weakens EXECIO.  In CMS Rexx, I can simply say:
    EXECIO 1 DISKW file-spec (string It's a string!

... (any expression).  IKJPARS would prohibit this.  I suspect this was
a deciding factor in not providing TSO Rexx EXECIO a STRING option
and requiring instead the cumbersome:
    X.1 = 'It''s a string!'
    'EXECIO 1 DISKW file-spec (stem X.'
