Has anyone tried (apart from Paul G) exporting the PDSE via NFS and mounting it at a z/Unix mountpoint on the same system ? That should be able to provide your path as well a classic access

I discuss this command in our course "Developing Applications for z/OS UNIX". But you're right, the doc is very poor. The assumption seems to be that copy books must be in HFS directories and my experiments produce error messages that would support that. In a way, that's too bad. OTOH, I, too, was assuming that copy books would reside in HFS directories so I had never tried to access copy books as members of a PDS before. You would think that if you used the classic clue that a library was a PDS/E, the compiler could figure it out. Maybe: export SYSLIB="//'SCOMSTO.U520.LIBRARY'" which I tried, and the message from the compile comes back: LineID Message code Library phase message text 24 IGYLI0049-S The "COPY" library "SCOMSTO.U520.LIBRARY/APODEFS" was not found. Skipped to the period terminating the "COPY" statement. so it was pretty clearly expecting (nay: requiring) a z/OS UNIX file, not a PDS. I'm copying this over to ibm-main, too, as Tom Ross occasionally follows that group so maybe he will chime in with some info. > John McKown > Systems Engineer IV > IT > > Administrative Services Group > > HealthMarkets(r) > > 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
