So: in:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/nl/en-us/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.isfa500/comline.htm
I read:
Issuing MVS or JES commands
z/OS SDSF Operation and Customization
SA23-2274-00
...
The messages issued in response are displayed on the information lines of the
panel. The complete set of responses is in the user session log (ULOG).

So, issue the command with ISFSLASH and scrape ULOG for the result.
Hope it's not stuck in a buffer.

Terrible design! Simply should have a WAIT option so the command doesn't
return until complete.
REXX: Use ISFSLASH. See Issuing system commands with ISFSLASH.

Like I said. Equally bad is that HSM messages are not necessarily returned to
the
requesting address space.
