My theory is that you should STEPLIB to xxx.SEAGALT. This is based upon
reading TSO/E Customization, as well as IBMLink entries for MSGIRX0159E,
and my observation that xxx.SEAGALT ships with its own version of IRXCMPTM -
presumably customized to tell TSO/E REXX to call the Rexx compiler.

So what will STEPLIBing do if SEAGALT is (correctly) in LPA and it

BTW, SEAGALT is in the LPA for us because of ISV product(s) that need
