How? I prefer BPXWDYN because of the finer control of error reporting.
And I use RTDDN() lest the Exec be embedded in a larger process with
the risk of DDNAME collision,

Sounds right to me, but in REXX, I've always just done the following:

Then open, write to it, close it,

I think you've got it right. When a DD is unallocated, the DDNAME is
indeed gone, except... you can put duplicate DDNAMES in JCL for a step, and
when the first is freed, the next one steps in. So you could avoid calling
bpxwdyn by pre-allocating a bunch of them. More or less obviously, that's

If you know how often the email is to be sent (1/2/3/4 times a day)
and the Bounce (IPL) schedule, you can repeat the DDNAME and each
message will use 1 DDNAME iteration.

I am designing a long-running Rexx program that will from time to time
