I suspect it doesn't matter. address SYSCALL command blind-dubs the TCB.
I'm quite suspicious of the commas. In a command, I'd expect
them to result in Rexx syntax errors.
But prior to SYSCALLS('ON') the SYSCALL constants are defined only in the
shell environment. I think he clarified to UNIX.
Context; Le bon Dieu est dans le détail. So:
SIGNAL ON NOVALUE /* Always, for debugging! */
PARSE SOURCE . /* Where are we? */
/* Then your sample code; post the trace. */
