Rexx, yes with BPXWDYN.  Shell, practically not.  But you can read or write
catalogued data sets with /bin/cp.  Long ago, I wrote a couple Rexx EXECs
that run under UNIX and copy from DDs (which they allocate from argument
strings) and IEBGENER from/to stdin/stdout.  These have turned out tto be
solutions searching for a problem.

What would you do with a DD if you had one?
