Well, Kolusu has hit on the edge of the bullseye!
I searched the ISPPROF file, and found the split and swap command string
in the ISPPROF member. It took a little magic from an old Rexx I had
from who knows when (called ProfRead) that showed there is a ZSTART
variable in ISPPROF. Closer look at the 7.3 function shows that only
deals with ISRPROF, which is why I could not find it earlier.
We were able to delete this variable from the table, and now we get the
expected results.
Thank you to all who had some great input - I now know lots of ways to
get this result if I need them!

All,
This is why you should ALWAYS start ISPF with APPLID(ISR). ISPF and PDF
do that, but ISPSTART uses APPLID(ISP) by default. Starting ISPF with
APPLID(ISP) leads to issues like this.
As far as deleting the ZSTART variable with 7.3 in a different APPLID,
you can use the following procedure.
- Enter Dialog Test
- Enter a breakpoint in option 8 for SELECT and DISPLAY
- Enter TSO ISPVVLI (this will allow dialog test to honor breakpoints
for ISPF native code)
- In dialog test option 1, enter ISR@PRIM (or your primary option menu
if different) int he PANEL field, and enter ISP (or the APPLID for the
profile you want to nuke) int he APPLID field.
- If the breakpoint doesn't appear, enter 2, 3.4, something in ISPF to
show the breakpoint
- Select 3 for variables, L <variable>, then D to delete it.
Also, if you haven't done so, you should run ISPCCONF to set the default
primary option menu to ISR@PRIM and the default ISPF APPLID to ISR.
Search for my Configuring ISPF for Fun and Profit for detailed
instructions on how to do that.
