I do, all the time. I don't "live" in command line TSO but looking at my PDS
of Rexx commands I see 75 of them (many of which I probably have not used in
years). I have commands to do specialized job submissions. I have commands
that do some particular calculations. And so forth. As I say, I don't "live"
in command line TSO; I run these from ISPF option 6 or more typically with
the TSO command prefix in ISPF.
The particular Rexx I am contemplating would not be for TSO ("real" TSO) at
all. It would be run in batch from IKJEFT01. I want to parse entry arguments
consisting of two quoted strings and some small variable number of unquoted
short tokens.

Surely very few people use command line TSO though? Isn't it more
common if there's something complicated to do to offer the user an
ispf panel (which will remember previous parameter choices) to set
up the options they want?
