Referring to this link that explain a sample of how to accept the return code of single step of a job, how can I learn more about this wonderful command?

The GETRC exec posted by SUPERK that you refer to uses REXX to extract virtual addresses from various system (z/OS) control blocks. The control blocks are described in the z/OS MVS Data Areas manuals (there are five of them). The exec also uses JES2 control blocks, which are described in the JES2 Data Areas manual. All of these manuals are available on the Internet for free at this location:

The comments in the GETRC exec, and the above manuals, and a lot of your time spent reading, will give you insights into how GETRC works its magic.
