As has been suggested earlier, you can place DLLs into PDSEs - I have done this. There may be structural differences, one DLL becomes one PDSE containing many seperate program objects (one PDSE = one DLL). I have never created DLLs under USS, so I do not know exactly how they are organised here except I believe they are in one file.
