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?)
Any z/OS UNIX program may access any z/OS data set that is accessible from a batch program. You can run programs written in Assembler, COBOL, PL/I, C, REXX, Java, and more, under the z/OS UNIX shell. Further, any z/OS batch program may access most files in the HFS. <ad> Our three day class, "Introduction to z/OS UNIX" can provide you and your staff a solid introduction to using z/OS UNIX, including concepts, commands, and capabilities. By the end of the course, each student has created a small website served by your mainframe. No need to buy WebSphere, the HTTP server comes included with z/OS.
