REXX is available with TSO/E Version 2.  TSO/E Version 2 is available in both
an MVS/XA and MVS/ESA version so you should be able to run REXX on your 3081.
Many of the TSO/E V2 features are only implemented in the ESA version, but
REXX is one thing that is available on both.  We just installed the XA version
of TSO/E V2, but since we've never run VMS here, we're a little slow getting
into using REXX.
