It is allowed for HLASM SYSLIB. Binder explicitly prohibits any UNIX directory
in
a concatenation. It sort of works but is unsupported for SYSEXEC. I haven't
tried it in STEPLIB; I'd bet against it.
It usually works for sequential data sets except that some persnickety utilities
perform a gratuitous check on device type and reject UNIX files. Some of those
such as AMATERSE can be fooled by preconcatenating an empty temp PS data set.
I believe IEBCOPY will not accept any UNIX file as PDSU.

It has no effect on a directory; it's prohibited on a basefile (which your
example
seems to be -- I'd expect an allocation failure). It might be used to force an
error
if a basefile is inadvertently supplied where a directory is expected.
