This might be overkill as a solution but you could use CEA TSO/E address space services to start TSO/ISPF: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=services-introduction-cea-tsoe-address-space <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=services-introduction-cea-tsoe-address-space> then use the ISPF JSON API to run the application: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=guide-json-api <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=guide-json-api>
