I believe that the Rexx-callable routine that you're thinking of is
XPARSE; I don't recall the author.

The command processor *is* user code. It's the user code that invokes
PARSE, unlike some systems where command syntax is defined externally
to the command routine.
FWIW, a TSO command can exploit the stack in ways that a Rexx routine
cannot.
