Just in case someone ever finds this in the archive: "must" is a bit too
strict.
It is quite usual but not necessary to store REXX programs a members in
a *PDS*. A REXX program can well be run from a simple sequential data
set.
What changes is that you cannot use the "%" syntax to run it. "%FOO"
searches //SYSEXEC, then //SYSPROC for a member with that name.
To run a REXX from any sequential data set, code:
EX 'your.rexx.ps.data.set'
And to be complete, to run a REXX from any member in any PDS (not
necessarily allocated to //SYSEXEC or //SYSPROC), code:
EX 'your.rexx.pds.data.set(member)'
