SIGNAL NOVALUE has no effect on the treatment of function names. The only difference between calling MVSVAR and 'MVSVAR' is that with the latter REXX will skip the search for an MVSVAR: label and will only search in external function packages, load library concatenations* and procedure library concatenations.
* I'm including PDSE libraries in the term. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I assume that I have to do that as I run with SIGNAL NOVALUE enabled.
