Exactly. That is what I was referring to. I have done it a lot. I have/had a
client for whom I developed a series of executables using this method.

  You can browse a compiled Rexx exec in SYS1.SBLSCLI0(IEAVCPUI).
It is appear to be executable code.  But it is not in the format of an OBJ
or load module or program object.  So it cannot be processed directly by any
Binder or CSV services. It is something that the Rexx interpreter reads into
storage and invokes.
This is an example of what the Rexx compiler documentation calls CEXEC
format.  The CSVFETCH exit would no nothing about this.

 The Rexx compiler also has an option to generate OBJs, which you
subsequently bind into load modules or program objects that would be invoked
via CSV services.
