Wayne, thanks for attempting to answer my question.

My guess is that that would require a restructure of IPCS, as the DDIR is a VSAM data set and 'sharing' the directory would mean using RLS. I am not aware that any UNIX / USS program can directly access a VSAM data set (Bob?) There is a way to specify a different DDIR for the batch job, and if it takes a long time to get the reports, the DDIR records can be copied over back and forth between dump directories. I would check the IPCS User guide on how to do that. It probably reuqires some thought in the initial setup, but should then work.
