What are the enhancements in the ANSI standard?

Don't confuse an announcement, which discusses VBS, with a response
to a SHARE Requirement, which discusses VSAM.

I don't believe that EXECIO is part of either Cowlishaw's specification
of Rexx or of the ANSI standard.  Nor is it native to Rexx under CMS.
Rather, it was a CMS utility that antedated Rexx, and the CMS Rexx
implementers took a shortcut and substituted EXECIO rather than
coding the standard Rexx I/O.
