" What does that have to do with Rexx?"
The link to REXX is simply that CLIST language was around long before REXX was
thought of.
The OP said he had a "vague memory" of doing this, so I simply wondered if he
had remembered doing in in CLIST language rather than REXX.
My memory of CLIST language is pretty vague too. But there is also a DATA
PROMPT....ENDDATA sequence which can be used.
I was not suggesting that the OP use CLIST (despite one or two advantages
against REXX). I was merely trying to assist with the "vague memory".

The CLIST Ref. says:
commands | subcommands
The data to be ignored and passed to TSO/E for execution.
I don't believe this meets the OP's need.
