Guess I am spoiled by the assembler (as command) and C/C++ compiler's support of both UNIX paths and z/OS PDS[E]s.
I have a, to me, clumsy way to get around it. I started up the NFS server and exported the high level qualifier that had the PDS[E]s that I needed, then did a MOUNT onto a z/OS UNIX subdirectory. Clumsy, but it does work. I may write my own version of the cob2 command which does what _I_ want. Should be fairly easy. Just set up the allocations as needed using DYNALLOC, then use BPX1ATM UNIX routine to ATTACH the IGYCRCTL program. The main problem that I have with my UNIX programs is that I can only use HLASM (no C compiler license). And I have not figured out how to handle UNIX signals. So the <cntl>c to abort a command doesn't work.
