What do you mean by "VPUT & VGET not working"? Have you notified IBM regarding this bug?
By the way, ISPSTART is capable of transferring parameters, as described in the fine manual.

Is there a previous program that VPUT the variable?
Just to make it clear: ISPF services work for both background and foreground environment.

I should imagine that you are using the shared pool rather than the profile pool to store your variable.
Once the first REXX program finishes, the shared pool is deleted, so obviously will not be available for the second REXX program. |

You probably have not explained your problem successfully, because I do not understand your problem.
Suggestion
1. provide the dataset name in ISPSTART command:
| Code: |
| ISPSTART CMD(%myrexx DSN('my.pds') ) |
2. and in the rexx program, use the parse instruction
| Code: |
| PARSE ARG . 'DSN(' pds_name ')' . |
