MVS TSO/ISPF REXX Question

     Can anyone tell me how to issue the ISPF "LIST" command from within a
     REXX procedure so to automate the processing of the list dataset?

     I have experimented using:

     /* Rexx */
     Cmd = 'LIST'
     Address ISPEXEC "Display Command(Cmd)"
     Exit

     - OR -

     /* Rexx */
     zLstFddv = 'KN'
     Cmd      = 'LIST'
     Address ISPEXEC "Display Command(Cmd)"
     Exit

     The above routine(s) accomplishes what I set out to do but I would
     like to change one or all of 3 variable values on panel ISPLLP02
     (SPECIFY DISPOSITION OF LIST DATA SET), temporarily.

     ZLSTFDDV   This variable contains the values of

                        D       delete
                        PD      print and delete
                        KN      keep allocate new

     ZLSTCLA    This variable contains the values for SYSOUT class

     ZLSTPID    This variable contains the value for print destination

     I wish to force the value to either PD or KN to variable ZLSTFDDV,
     however this variable does not seem to be located in any of the
     variable pools.  I have tried setting the value but when the "Display
     Command(Cmd)" issues the LIST command ZLSTFDDV is not set to the value
I wish.

     ISPF knows about this value somewhere I just can't seem to find it.

     Any help is greatly appreciated, IBM book reference/page number, code,
etc.

Thanks
