Hello,
You might look here:

Keep in mind that when you work on a pc, 2 major differences from the mainframe are the way files are handled and that much/most mainframe rexx utilizes tso/ispf services/macros.

I'd like to also ask if there's some place with REXX books (aside IBM's) but mainly some exercises to train the language...
Thanks in advance,

If you don't mind me asking, why REXX? Most places today would prefer you to know something like PERL.
