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.
Steve,
I believe the exception is GDG's. There has been discussion on the OE
list about this. I do not remember specifics, perhaps someone can
pipe up.
