When someone ports OOREXX to z/OS and adds TSO support.
Never going to happen. I ported ooRexx to z/OS UNIX over a decade ago
and getting it to work in TSO is a heavy lift. It doesn't use fopen() so
needs a lot of patching to work with MVS data sets. It's not worth the
effort. There are better, more modern languages available on z/OS now so
it's only
the diehard REXXers that are interested.

Do you want to report every error, or leave after the first one?
I wish Rexx supported multi-line strings.
I wish Rexx would let me:
do List = "ssn ssx stm wcn wcx wln wlx wld" while List<>""
parse var List L List
/* etc. */
When will REXX support iterators and generators like Python, Ruby, Lua etc
for word in "ssn ssx stm wcn wcx wln wlx wld".split()
