And the developers who ported REXX to TSO were too unaware to spot
the problem and fix it.  Or perhaps a misguided fixation on "portability"!

In the REXX Ref. I see:
    Register 0
        Address of an environment block (optional)

"optional" should never be specified as a register content.  I read that as:
        Address of an environment block (if not, it doesn't matter)
