I've spent quite a bit of time with this approach, changing my list to
USERS=(T045022,T046726,T047...), but I can't seem to figure out how to
parse this list in the second macro. That &SYSLIST stuff just works in the
primary macro. I Have a collection of $GRP macros which save data
temporarily in some GBLC arrays, then a single $GRPTBL macro which
generates the actual data. The reason that I do this is so that the
$GRPTBL macro can sort the data.
What I really need is a two dimensional array, but I don't think that can
really be done in a macro.
I am also hitting the a 256 byte limit in the length of an argument that
can be passed to a macro. That looks like a real show-stopper that will
force a complete redesign here.

You're on the right track and I'm too lazy to actually do the coding.
Why not consider changing you macro syntax to something like
USERS=(T045022,T046726,T047542,T056131,...
And then is should be fairly trivial to separate out the sub-operands of
&USERS (&USERS(&SUBSCRP) as I recall) and loop based on the number of
sub-operands (N'&USERS as I recall).
The Assembler language reference is your friend (NOT Principles of
Operation).
You're on exactly the right track for generating your length halfword,
something like
DC AL2(LISTEND-*+2)
DC C'T045022'
DC C'T047542'
...
LISTEND EQU *
