Don't confuse a REXX expression with its value.

The TMP passes the operand to the command processor as is. The only
code changes needed would be in EXECIO itself.

First, such environments as TSO don't have any interface to REXX
variables. Second, the only interface to REXX variables is symbolic.
In the statement
address TSO 'EXECIO 1 DISKW' FileID
the TSO environment does not see the name "FileID"; it sees the value
of the expression
'EXECIO 1 DISKW' FileID
