There are some public domain programs that will do this.  I don't have any
but I remember some discussion on VMSHARE so If I were looking for such,
I would look at MEMO REXX on VMSHARE.  You can write it yourself.  You need
an assembly routine that does EXECCOMM calls, and just asks for the "next"
variable until there are no more.  The variables will be fed to you in
random order, so if you want to sort them, that is up to you.
You could also check with Dave Gomberg at UCSF in San Francisco.  I
don't have an internet address for him and I would rather not post his phone
without his ok.

p.s. The above is for Rexx on VM/CMS.  I can't speak for other platforms.
