Hi Danny,
 
I'm not a guru but as far as I know there is no general feature in UX like
file equation in MPE:
 
Symbolik links do not solve your problem by not distinguish between
different users
 
But if you're using Micro Focus Cobol programs you can use file equation with
'dd_' prefix
 
file name to be accessed by MF Cobol prog: abc
file you want the user prog to use:        /x/y/z
 
set users's prog environment with
 
export dd_abc=/x/y/z
 
and the program tries to access /x/y/z.
 
'Hope this helped you anyway.
 
Regards
