We have a separate project for NFS to support other applications.  But,
the manual for the program product in question does not mention an NFS
interface.  So, would it be reasonable to interpret your advice to say
that you have considerable experience working with this requirement and
there is no known way to do it with out NFS or some other product
component inbetween USS and AIX doing some pathing or routing or
connecting or CLISTing or something else to support the file access?

Is this an NFS issue.  If so, you need to do some configuration on z/OS
beyond codig JCL.

And, unfortunately, z/OS does not support the pseudo-mount point
/net/hostname/... available on several other UNIX systems such as
Solaris.
