rexx passes everything by value. I suspect that the correct code is res =
console('context', wait_time).

Thanks for the pseudocode. I assume that "console()" is the Assembler
code, not shown.
Are you assuming that the address, not merely the content of "context"
will be unchanged between successive calls to "console()"? I find
no guarantee of that.
Of course, "console()" might obtain storage and stash its address in "context".
