CLIST makes a lot of things real hard; Rexx is a much better language.

And this is to be further tailored by customers. Here, the
significant advantage of CLIST over Rexx is in avoiding the
apostrophe catastrophe.

Ignorance. I tried the first thing that occurred to me:

... (why not?) and it failed. I
Answer offline; don't flood the list.
How can I set a symbolic variable to the null string?
SET X = '' /* Sets X to two apostrophes. */
SET X = /* Syntax error. */
SET X = SUBSTR(1:0,FOO) /* Syntax error. */
Isn't there a way?

What value does a variable have if you don't try to initialise it?
This vital information appears to be missing from the obvious place to mention
it in the manual and I expect the old TSO CLIST language doesn't use the
quixotic REXX rule that you find variables initialised to whatever
