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.
