You can set rexx variables from an authorized TSO command.  For example, the 
rmm tso commands all do that.
However, one of the difficulties we had was when those commands were issued 
from a rexx environment - all variables to be accessed by the autorized command 
had to start SYSAUTH. Variables created in the command could be accessed once 
back in the exec.

Rexx does some storage isolation, I believe, between the environments, so that 
we have seen the authorized command complete successfully - all variables 
created - but on return to the exec, the storage for the variables is 
duplicated/moved to another subpool to allow access from the exec. Even the 
PROFILE VARSTOR(HIGH) didnt help with that one.
