Well, thanks all. I used a combination of approaches. 1. I found the TSOCMD approach totally unsatisfactory. It seemed to upper-case the argument and throw me out of the panel I wanted to be on and onto ISPF 6.
2. In the Rexx, if the arguments show up as mixed case I use them as-is; if they show up all upper case I prompt for the user (me) to re-type them as Rexx Pull input. 3. The *** is not a problem because the Rexx submits a job and I would have to dismiss the *** in any event.
