I found this at Hobbes, not sure if it will do it or not but is
sounds like it might. The package is known and distributed in many
places as RXU

This function writes data from a Rexx queue or stem variable to a
file. It is meant to be like EXECIO in TSO and VM, and can be used
in a similar fashion for file output.

Syntax:

info = RxExecO([fname], [action], [name], [type])

where:

fname = name of file to be written to (default sends to stdout)
action = Replace or Append (default is 'Replace')
replaces or appends to 'fname'
name = name of Rexx queue from which to get data (default uses
current queue)
or
name of a Rexx stem variable under which data is mapped
as
stem.1
stem.2
...
stem.n
Once an uninitialized value for 'stem.n' is encountered,
i/o stops.
type = 'Queue' or 'Stem' (default is 'Queue')
this tells whether arg 3 is a Rexx Queue name or a stem
variable name
info = two blank delimited numbers:
1) number of lines written
2) total number of bytes written
