After thinking about it, I was wrong about REXX ADDRESS LINKPGM. I think I
called the program as a REXX function call (maybe REXX call) and returned the
result as a REXX response returned from the function call. It should be
documented in the REXX manuals. I had to do it so much that I had a macro so I
can't remember how to code it. If the program can't find the offset, the
program should return a -1 (standard REXX failure code).
