I use _BPX_SHAREAS=REUSE in my profiles Thanks Paul for the info about ZipDatsets - I was only going by what I run based on the documentation given with the JZOS sample programs several years ago.

In fact, I see: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/zos/javadoc/jzos/com/ibm/jzos/sample/ZipDatasets.html ... many wildcarding options; not merely HLQ. And it will operate on DDNAMEs. For that I'd suspect _BPX_SHAREAS=MUST is required. "Datasets are treated as text ..." might be a restriction in some cases.
