I am still mystified why you want to use CBF out of REXX code.
Use EVAL to get the storage. I would think that it would be much easier to
manipulate the control block itself rather than parse the CBF output.
Here is a REXX program to show the subsystem control blocks.
/* REXX */
ARG REQNAME
ADDRESS IPCS
SSNAME = "AAAA"
POINTER = "BBBB"
SSCTADDR = "CCCC"
"EVAL 10.?+128?+18 REXX(STORAGE(SSCTADDR))"
DO WHILE SSCTADDR ¬= "00000000" & RC = 0
"EVAL" SSCTADDR"+8 REXX(STORAGE(SSNAME))"
"EVAL" SSCTADDR"+4 REXX(STORAGE(POINTER))"
IF REQNAME = "" THEN
SAY "SSCT AT ADDRESS" SSCTADDR "NAME" X2C(SSNAME),
"NEXT" POINTER
ELSE
IF REQNAME = X2C(SSNAME) THEN DO
"EQUATE SSCT"REQNAME SSCTADDR"."
SAY "SSCT"REQNAME "SET TO" SSCTADDR
RETURN 0
END
SSCTADDR = POINTER
END
IF REQNAME <> "" THEN
SAY "SUBSYSTEM" REQNAME "NOT FOUND"
RETURN 0
