I distinctly remember (I think I was on the TSO committee at Share) When Rexx was announced. We were looking at ordering tSO/E at the time and I asked the boss to put the breaks on ordering TSO/e until GA and then wait 2 months. IIRC it was the early 80's. I also remember there were quite a few big prereqs as there were a lot of bugs early in REXX. My memory is not 100 percent here but it isn't far off.
