the contents from  "exec sql" to
"end-exec".

This sounds like a "please do your own homework" request to me, YMMV.

Because in this particular case, the intention is that the student should
LEARN something by doing it for him/herself.  Merely getting someone else
to do the work will not assist at some later stage when the student may
be expected to display an understanding of REXX programming when instant
help is not to hand.

Not worth it; BTW, why did you and Bill both fail to excise the sigs when
quoting messages (and you, for that matter, posted upside-down)?
