Tear down both walls. IBM provides ANSI REXX routine in Unix System Services that it does not provide for TSO users.

There's a formidable barrier between Unix System Services and TSO. In "z/OS TSO/E REXX Reference' see the section "TSO/E external functions". Those functions should seamlessly be made available to Rexx execs running under Unix System Services. Likewise commands such as RECEIVE.
