Mike, For security reasons, REXX Programs can’t normally call an APF Authorized program (it causes it to loose its APF Authorization). There is one exception, from SystemREXX. You would be able to create a SystemREXX that uses LINKMVS/PGM or ATTACHMVS/PGM to call the program and then use

Performance reasons. Without the quotes REXX first interprets MVS as a variable name, which (probable) has not been set, so takes on the value of the variable name in caps. By putting it in caps, and enclosing it in quotes, I save REXX a few steps and it goes directly to the MVS ADDRESS

FYI: EXECIO is supported by MVS and is not part of the TSO extensions/functions of REXX. ADDRESS “MVS” “EXECIO ” It appears to work under TSO, because REXX then passes it to MVS before throughing an error. EXECIO can be used under IRXMVS, but you will need to use BPXWDYN if you
