I think your second parameter would have to be "''$3'_''$2'_''$1'"
because to be really useful, the captured matches would need to be
ordinary DCL symbols that would persist after the lexical call. And in
that case, you probably really couldn't call them $1, $2, $3, etc.
because that's going to conflict with existing usage somewhere. So,
sorry to say, but they would probably need to be something like
DCL$REGEX_MATCH_1, DCL$REGEX_MATCH_2, etc.
