That's what I was trying to say. There is no MVS versus UNIX; there is only 
MVS, which includes UNIX.

Assuming that is allowed by your friendly neighborhood ESM. In RACF, it's 
called "having an OMVS segment."

Pretty much any program can use z/OS Unix services.   Strictly speaking I
don't think that there is an "inside" and an "outside", just "use".
So,  just EXEC PGM=XXXXX  and when the program makes its first Unix kernel
call it will be "dubbed" and get a Unix process id.   That's about as much
as there is to establishing a program as a Unix process on z/OS.
