Ze'ev, I would like to chime in and say that you started in exactly the right place for those of us who work where there is no unix file system space regularly made available to application programmers. ISV's and SP's can allocate and populate unix file systems at will, while ordinary application programmers have no authority to perform such allocations.
In my experience, SP's who have set up "automatic" allocation of "/u/tsouser" unix file system space for application users is not common and requesting it requires a business case, not easily made by a mere application programmer.

I will go through the documentation and hopefully David will send me some concise explanation that would bring me up to speed. I guess that not all what I did is a waste. For example the COBOL/PLI interfaces, some supporting routines and so on. I also have to see whether I have full access to Unix services.
