I did something like that a few years ago -- a REXX to pull a lot of CICS
run stats from the previous day, and an Excel macro to read them all in
and create a table for a CICS jock to do subsequent analysis on, for
tuning. I don't recall having to use INTERPRET, though; we had IOF, so I
just told REXX to go through all the jobs with yesterday's date and whose
jobnames started with "CICS" and parse out the following information from
the appropriate DD... But maybe you didn't have IOF at the time.

....I was taught you should NEVER write self-modifying code.

But, NEVER is a long time. Used it once to read in and parse CICS shutdown
statistics for 5 CICS AORs. I would have used SAS, instead, but we weren't
licensed. I used interpret so I wouldn't have to write the same code 5
times.
