I wonder why I didn't get the original request. I'm going to be THAT GUY who responds by not answering your question, and instead point out that there are way more efficient ways to do this than by starting up ISPF once per member. For example, you can start ISPF once with an exec that opens

Turns out the problem is with IRXSAY, I can read and write variables using IRXEXCOM. But IRXSAY returns with return code 28 'A language processor environment could not be located'. Unfortunately I was not checking for IRXSAY return codes, as IRXSAY just works, well at least in TSO it does. So
