Just to avoid  confusion here -- the  command line passed to  CMS is not
the string  "DATATYPE('||prtpages||','W')". The content of  this line is
an expression yielding '0', and this is passed to CMS.

(Of course it's  not unusual that a  line of a REXX  program contains an
expression only. A common example would be:)

   'ESTATEW' fn ft fm
