REXX is not CLIST. An unquoted token that is not a keyword or lite4ral is
treated as a variable name. If you want to look up the value of A, use
value('A'); the co

You don't need interpret; value() can set a

REXX from interprate variable A? CLIST has this function, BTW.
Do use this example:
/* REXX */
A='2**4'
B= 2**4
SAY DATATYPE(A)
SAY DATATYPE(B)
SAY A

I read a record from a dataset. A field named A holds the string value

'ABCD
I read a record from a dataset. A field named A holds the string value of
'ABCD**'. I then pass the name of the variable to a routine. The routine
resolved the value by name using VALUE(A). If A hold string of **, REXX
thinks this is a power operation,. In Clist, you can limit the number of
levels
Not sure what you want. REXX alway replaces all variables on
a statement before executing the resulting statment.
Some ideas:
say A
say 'A'
say 'A=' !! A

Look at this:
A='**'
Say Value(A)
Rexx see that as a power attemp and fails the command. How can I stop REXX
from interprate variable A? CLIST has this function, BTW.
