PHP/Python/Node/whatever and want to just invoke it on request from the RPG
or CL that I'm running. Ideally I want to do that in a manner as close to
simply calling a Service Program procedure as I can.

Every method I've seen seems to either write back from QSH to a database
file, or teach RPG to parse and IFS CSV.

It's easy enough, no matter what your use case. If you are RPG'ing, it
ain't a big deal to read in one row of a DB file to get your out parms back
after invoking Python (or Ruby or PHP ...)

One could even write a Python program to generate SQL or DDS, create the
output file, start journaling, and write a CL and Python stub from a spec
file.

E.g. the Python call could be:

genStub( "myprog.py", "MYLIB/MYFILE(MYLAUNCHCL)", "PRDEXECLIB",
"MYDBLIB/MYPARMPF", "/home/JONPARIS/myifslogdir", [char(50, "&FOO", "INOUT,
char(40, "&BAR", "OUT")])

and it would write stub Python code for you, write and compile a CL to the
above spec, generate the PF to hold the parms.

This is pretty close to trivial.
