OK, I've been reading again and trying to think <grin>. There are some products which can now use files in a UNIX subdirectory as if they were members of a PDS. IIRC, HLASM and some of the compilers are in this area. I want to try to allocate my UNIX "rexx" subdirectory on my TSO SYSEXEC. I don't seem to be able to. I did the following at the TSO READY prompt.

"ALLOC DDN(UNIXREXX) PATH('/home/myid/rexx') FILEDATA(TEXT) RECFM(F B)
LRECL(80)"
BPXWDYN "CONCAT (SYSEXEC,UNIXREXX)"

The BPXWDYN did not give any messages, but a LISTALC SYSNAMES STATUS shows that UNIXREXX still exists and shows no changes to SYSEXEC.

I am on z/OS 1.6. And yes, I am insane. Oh, my purpose is a "dual path"
REXX program that can run under TSO and UNIX shell.
