But you might risk a "NOT AN EDIT MACRO" error in its absence.

Does this make me the opposite extreme? In a 432-line Rexx EXEC:
509 $ grep -i address ...
address 'ISREDIT' 'MACRO (Arg1)' /* Use Edit macro argument */
address 'ISPEXEC' 'VGET (ZSCREENI) SHARED'
address 'SYSCALL'
address 'SDSF'
address 'SYSCALL' 'open (G.9LOG)' ,
address 'SYSCALL' 'pipe G.9PIPE.'
address 'SYSCALL'
address 'SYSCALL'
address 'SYSCALL'
address 'TSO' 'RECEIVE INDD('arg( 1 )')'; end
address 'MVS' 'EXECIO 1 DISKW' G.9CTRL '( finis stem Content.'
address 'MVS' 'EXECIO 2 DISKW' G.9IEBOUT '(finis stem Header.'
address 'ATTCHMVS' 'IEBGENER PARM1 PARM2'
address 'SYSCALL'
address 'SYSCALL' 'mkdir (Head) 777' /* less umask */
address 'SYSCALL' 'strerror (errno) (errnojr) emsg.'
... ? (Mr. Natural sez, Use the right tool for the job.)
