? What z/OS component requires creating a zFS but doesn't use Unix System Services, and what does it use it for?

There's now at least one base z/OS component that uses zFS nontrivially (and requires it) that isn't z/OS UNIX System Services. How about something like this: "...a zFS or other z/OS UNIX compatible directory/file/path..."? That'd allow for z/OS NFS, HFS (for now, in z/OS releases that provide it), etc. if those are acceptable alternatives. "z/OS UNIX" seems to be an acceptable short form of "z/OS UNIX System Services," so I think that works. If for some reason the requirement is specific to zFS, then it'd just collapse to "a zFS directory/file/path." Here's another form, in between those two poles: "...a z/OS UNIX compatible directory/file/path (zFS recommended)..." Technical writing with clarity is hard, but I think these constructions would be an improvement. - - - - - - - - - - Timothy Sipples I.T.
