Yep, that is it in generic form, RXSUBCOM is just a specific name someone gave it.

You can write external functions or subroutines that supplement the built-in functions or TSO/E external functions that are provided. You can also write a function to replace one of the functions that is provided. For example, if you want a new substring function that performs differently from the SUBSTR built-in function, you can write your own substring function and name it STRING. Users at your installation can then use the STRING function in their execs.
