ObSantayanah For your information REXX is part of the TSO/E component of z/OS, and has been part of TSO/E since TSO/E Version 2. That's why https://www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zOSV2R4Library?OpenDocument lists z/OS Version 2 Release 4 TSO/E REXX Reference, SA32-0972-40, under z/OS TSO/E.
https://www.rexxla.org/links/IBM_historical_pages/rexxtso.html is your friend. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

FYI: EXECIO is supported by MVS and is not part of the TSO extensions/functions of REXX. ADDRESS “MVS” “EXECIO ....” It appears to work under TSO, because REXX then passes it to MVS before throughing an error. EXECIO can be used under IRXMVS, but you will need to use BPXWDYN if you want to do dynamic allocation (under OS390, BPXWDYN was part of, and required,USS. As of zOS, this is no longer the case).
