I wonder what I'm doing wrong (again).  I made an assembler program that
I call with Address LINKPGM.  It's in the linklist, it's APF authorized,
has the AC bit on, and listed in AUTHPGM in IKJTSO00.

You can call an authorized command[1]. However, I'm not sure whether
such
a command can set REXX variables.

Nor is it likely to pass a security audit.

[1] Yes, I know that's not always as convenient.
