Indeed, I've used it that way. It saves many keystrokes compared to
individual QUEUE, EXECIO, or compound symbol assignments. It lacks
facility to substitute symbols.
CMS/TSO Pipelines (remember, it's embedded in Rexx) provides the
alternative BEGOUTPUT; the Ref. uses the term "implied output mode"
describing it.
Wouldn't it be nice to have something like "ADDRESS DD:SYSUT2"?
