hi,

don't know if there's a limit, and i'm lazy to search the manuals now, but 
what i can tell you is that i've issued all kind of commands within a REXX 
exec and never experienced or realized any problem with a commands length. 
having a quick check of my routines, that should at least include lengths 
of up to 278 characters; my guess would be if there's a limit that it is 
way higher. when calling an ISPF edit macro within an ISPF edit macro, i 
think there's a limit of 32k for a single variable, but probably that is 
rather related to ISPF restrictions than to REXX.

regards,
andi
