Thanks for the input.

On the call to AXZPSJ, is the parm 1024 characters with an LDA image or do
you rely on the LDA itself? Can you send me some sample CL code?

I have had success by using the STRMAPICS command (so that I'm within
MAPICS), calling program AXZLDA0R to retieve the MAPICS LDA, updating the
returned LDA value with anything specific for the option I'm trying to run,
running the appropriate AXZPSJ call, and then using the ENDMAPICS command.
