Don - I've written a tool, called ZSTART, that does exactly what you are 
looking for.

You can get it at my website, my github repository, or from the CBTTAPE file 
314.

Hope this helps - let me know you have any questions/issues/suggestions for it.

Subject: How to update ZSTART variable in ISP Profile

Hi all, I have a teammate who wants to change his ISPF ZSTART profile variable 
in the ISP profile, and I wanted to see if there is an easy way to do this.

ISPF 7.3 won't work, as that is only showing ISR profile variables.

I can write a quick little utility that will (1) copy ISPPROF to some other 
member, (2) VPUT the ZSTART data into the variable and save it, and (3) submit 
a batch job (using DISP=OLD for ENQ purposes) that will copy the "other" member 
back into ISPPROF after he logs off.

Before I do that, I thought that someone here might have done something like 
this already. It seems like IBM have a utility to do this very thing called 
ISTA in their Data Set Commander product, but we don't have that here.

Thanks!
Don
