This works both ways.

As the infrastructure to recreate the error was rather complex, I would have 
had to recreate the
BSF4ooRexx package (a Java class needed support for RexxProxy to be added), 
then unbundle it and
come up with a distribution in form of an archive that allows one to simply 
unzip it and setup one's
environment to run the testcase in a minimum amount of time and effort.

Rather than setting this all up and then to learn that my assumptions were 
wrong, I tried to state
what I am seeing upfront to learn whether my assumptions would be correct. 
Clearly, there was no
intent here that you debug such a prose.

After reading your answer I knew my assumptions about the package behaviour 
were correct and started
out to create a testcase. In the process I came up with the idea to do it in 
pure Rexx as this was
possible in this case. As another result I would become able to find my own 
error which I reported.

P.S.: Currently, I have only intermittent and short time slots available to 
turn back to programming
and testing. Hence, I overlooked the name of my test script to be test.rex 
which gets invoked if no
routine by the name of test was found, yielding the error 11. Next time, I will 
upload the scripts
as attachments and not inline, to also cover such possible errors.
