> Is it possible to read/write VSE files using zVM??

Yes, including VSAM files (if you have CMS VSAM installed), but there
are some restrictions. Look in the VM Application Development guide for
information on DOS simulation, the DOSLIB and DLBL commands, and the
restrictions on what you can do to/with VSE files. Note also that most
basic CMS commands like COPY, etc do not know how to manipulate VSE
files -- you'll need to write some small programs or CMS Pipes to
manipulate them via the DOS simulation interfaces. Pipes has good tools
for this sort of thing.

I'll also add the caveat that you need to be careful with this
capability. VSE and VM are better integrated than VM and most other IBM
operating systems, but the integration isn't perfect, and you *can* do
damage if you try to perform updates from both systems at the same time.
