I doubt there is any way, beyond writing a simple program of your own. AMASPZAP historically used EXCP and its own channel programs to update a record in place in any kind of disk dataset. It has a load-module-friendly user interface, but of course can also be used to ZAP anything on disk. When AMASPZAP is used to ZAP a program object in either a PDSE or a UNIX file, it uses the Binder API to do the work, and the update is not done in place. (The first time you see an IEW message from running AMASPZAP can be a bit of a surprise...) In other words, AMASPZAP has become just a user interface to the Binder API for ZAPping program objects, but I don't think IBM has also made it into a user interface for updating UNIX files generally.
