I'm coming late to this thread, and this solution (if it even works) is
really going around your elbow to get to your thumb, but:
1) You said the REXX exec is running in batch, right?
2) Call the COBOL program
3) The COBOL p
you can't call, because of the original problem. The only way to call
something is TSO CALL, which is one-way.

3) The COBOL program displays the value to any DD
4) The exec invokes the SDSF
Then how about the calling program passing the communications
file name [DSN or whatever] and then have the COBOL program
allocate, and open that for output, then CLOSE and "free" it.
The caller, upon return of the COBOL program should now have
access to the string. I recall doing things like

It has been a long many years since I wrote my last cobol program. I was
wondering if it would be possible to use a card punch to write to the stack.

You need to pass eight bytes from a Cobol program to the invoking REXX. Why
not use a disk file with a DD name? You can allocate it in the REXX, call
the Cobol program, this can write it to the disk file, and you can read it
in the calling REXX. Why does it have to be through the stack?

GETLINE and PUTGET let you read from the stack, if you're comfortable writing
