Hi Raymond,
Okay, let's get the obvious question out of the way first, you _are_ running this on the z/OS system, and not on VM? Can you test this on another z/OS system to see if it is consistently wrong? If consistently wrong, then that would suggest a bug. Is z/OS REXX returning something 'extra' at the end of the data that just looks like it is an extra '1'? (I have no z/OS manuals to check.) Not very helpful, I know, but that's all I can think of.
