Rexx can do this. See the Rexx example in (IIRC) SYS1.SAMPLIB(CSFTEST).
One concern I'd have is the LOAD/DELETE overhead of making the
repeated dynamic calls to ICSF. This could be alleviated by keeping
ICSF in LPA or by performing an initial LOAD; repeated calls to
dynamic ICSF; and a final DELETE. Alas, I believe Rexx lacks the
LOAD/DELETE facility.
