REXX is a TSO interpreter, but you have a batch job! Test that in a online
session and it might work!
A better question: what you want to do? Or what do you expect? REXX you can
call in batch with some tricks, but you always have to be careful with
interactice things, like display lists, put, get with your terminal, ....
Your batch job does not know your terminal!
If you need it in batch, maybe there are some other possibilities to do
what you need...
