I do most of my rexx on VM, but on VM we have a method to directly read
and update a callers variables (as long as both are REXX) using the pipe
stages VAR and VARLOAD.
Just looking at the z/OS manuals, it looks like you have the same option
in z/OS.

I've inherited responsibility for a huge REXX app that uses that technique to
pass many values back and forth between external routines. Each module has two
routines, one for packing up a list of variables and another for unpacking them
at the other end. I find it difficult to understand, but if I'd had to write
the thing from scratch maybe I wouldn't have come up with a better way to do
it, either.

My main use case for interpret is passing back a string with stem variable
assignments from a procedure. Then the caller of the procedure interprets the
string - which has semicolons to separate the assignment statements.
I don't much like it but it seems the best I can do.
