Possibly, cgiparse may be what you want to use -- mentioned below, from a
REXX FAQ I found at
http://www.erroneousbee.demon.co.uk/Computers/rexxfaq.html :
Using Rexx as CGI programs with the Web Server.
Rexx can be used to create CGI programs that access MVS based resources for
Web browser based users.
All the Rexx program is doing is to write a dynamic html page to the POSIX
sysout stream. This can be done using the Rexx say command.
The BonusPak supplies two shell commands; cgiutils for writing http headers
(for passing html versions and cookies to the browser, etc), and cgiparse
for reading environment variables, including forms data.
For the GET CGI method, the CGI parameters are available in environment
variable QUERY_STRING.
Environment variables are available in the Rexx stemmed variable
__environment. and the parms can be extracted with the parse command. Note
that use of interpret to extract parms is insecure. A user may manage to
pass raw rexx commands into the CGI exec.
For pre OS/390 V1 R3 systems, the Rexx say command wraps at 80 characters.
Use SYSCALL "write .." instead.
Some browsers convert special characters to an escaped notation.
Access to Classic MVS resources can be done by using Rexx function shcmd to
trap the output from commands run under TSO.
Commands can be run under TSO using the tsocmd shell command.
Both shcmd and tsocmd are available from the IBM Kingston ftp site.
Also, here's an IBM reference I found where cgiparse is discussed:

I develop web sites for a hobby using PHP and HTML. We have a web
server
on our mainframe so I was tasked to do some web development.
My REXX EXEC is named MYFORM.REXX and is recursively called through the
FORM action. Is there a was to make this REXX EXEC be able to "SEE" the
variables
that are passed back to it via the FORM? This is easy using PHP so
surely REXX
has a way to do it also
/* REXX */
'cgiutils -status 200 -ct text/x-ssi-html'
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "ISPEXEC VGET (SECRET)"
