Has the ability to assign the same value to several variables been added to ooRexx anywhere along the way? My bet is no (on the basis that I tend to lose all bets, and I want to lose this one).

So instead of:
A=1; B=1

I could use something like:
A,B = 1

I get around this using the mechanism:

Parse value 1 1 with A B /* But it's not very elegant */
/* And doesn't handle blanks */

But this DOES handle blanks:

Parse value 'two words' with A 1 B 1 C
.
