Maybe you are confusing/conflating the HOOK command with the HOOK macro, which
long ago (pre-HOOK command days) was the way to start interactively debugging

You are thinking of the #DIE macro. That assembles into a x'00' instruction
with a special identifier for zXDC. If zXDC is established as the newest ESTAE,

generated.
A HOOK, either a dynamic HOOK or the #XDCHOOK
You're right. #DIE is what I was describing. I confuse and conflate things
myself.
I think there is a HOOK macro in z/OS that assembles into a Monitor Call

some more .

When the CLIST calls the REXX, nothing is being edited at that point.
Therefore, the REXX is NOT executing as a Macro and it should not contain a
MACRO statement.
I think what you want to do is change the CLIST to do something like this:
ISPEXEC EDIT 'SYS1.PROCLIB.CICSBKUP.P(TOAQTQ2)'
I agree with Itschak. The ISREDIT EDIT ... command does a recursive edit
of another member/data set, when you are already in ISPF EDIT on something
else. If your CLIST wants to edit a member/data set and run a REXX edit
macro, then remove the ISREDIT EDIT line and have the CLIST invoke the ISPF
