So 'ADDRESS TSO "ISPQRY"' fails if ISPF libraries are not allocated?
Did you mean trimodal?
By "bimodal" I meant ISPF vs. non-ISPF. There are numerous modes. I start
some scripts with:
ADDRESS ISREDIT MACRO X
IF RC<>0 THEN PARSE ARG X
I feel that ISPF designers show contempt for REXX in eschewing REXX facilitird
such as
PARSE ARG, and especially compound symbols.

But does that require TSO? I wanted to be TSO-independent:
z/OS 2.5 ISPF Services Guide
IBM SC19-3626-50
Under TSO/E REXX that uses ADDRESS TSO you can use:
"ISPQRY"
(if it's a TSO command, shouldn't it be documented in the TSO COmmanf Ref.?)

Thrtr are scripts intended to be bimodal where I have dome:
ADDRESS ISPEXEC DISPLAY 'MSG(ISRZ002)'
IF RC<>0 THEN DO /* ISPF not active. */
say errMsg1
say errMsg2; END
