it is against the forum rules to user PMs to solicit answers,

Please help. My future depends on it.

You are out of luck then

remember ...
replying to forum questions is

interest of the topic
benevolence factor

claiming urgency, asking thru PMs, whining about future misfortunes
are sure ways of lowering the benevolence factor and the chances of getting help

I am very sorry and will bound to the rules of the forum

You did not show what your data looks like. Likely, the comma comes from your input record. Add a comma to the PARSE statement so that the PARSE does not save it to the variables.

I do not think this was explained well:

A quoted string indicates that it will be processed as the default host command. Because it is not a quoted string , rexx thinks it is a rexx instruction that rexx needs to process. The statement looks like a function call to FILE with a parameter of Z. Rexx tries to call a routine named 'FILE'. It fails because it does not exist.
