There are some few but very significant facilities of CLIST that
have absolutely no equivalent in Rexx. The one that comes to mind
is modal command execution.

Does this work in CLIST even as it does in Rexx if the tail
("&COUNT" in this case) is an (almost) arbitrary string, possibly
containing special characters, whitespace, etc.:
COUNT = 'Anything in the rainbow'
COLOR.COUNT = 'spectrum'
