I do not understand your question. All variables in rexx are global unless your sub-routine is declared with the PROCEDURE statement. Also - putc, globalv etc are not rexx varibles unless you use them as such. Nor are they keywords. I suggest a reading of the official rexx language reference,

No built-in support for having variables across REXX like CLIST GLOBALV. There are a couple of free-ware programs available for sharing variables -
REXXGBLV from Use [URL] BBCode for External Links file 669 and harders-jensen.com/wjtech/zprograms.html (newest) handles all kind of variables.
STEMPUSH / STEMPULL from Use [URL] BBCode for External Links file 411 handles stems.

Maybe using VPUT and VGET is enough.

NOPE

VPUT and VGET work only within the ISPF environment,
what was asked was something working at least at the TSO session level

Willy solution offers a plus, to save the variables in a dataset to carry them across sessions
