Yes there is a relationship between ZSTART and ISPSTART. Have the user try ISPSTART PANEL(ISR@PRIM) NEWAPPL(ISR).
The doc says about ZSTART: "ISPF attempts to retrieve and validate profile variable ZSTART. If this variable is valid (of the format ISPF|| command delimiter|| comand stack) ISPF executes the command stack contained in the variable as though entered from the primary panel. If ISPF cannot retrieve the variable or the variable does not start ISPF|| command delimiter then ISPF displays the primary panel."
