Disclosed are a shared direct access data storage system and sharing method for use with both an MVS data processing system and a data processing system employing FBA data, for storing data set records received from the MVS data processing system. A CKD controller receives the data set from the MVS data processing system. An FBA controller and disk data storage provides direct access to FBA records by the FBA data processing system. A mapping element maps the data set records from the MVS data processing system into FBA data records with fixed blocks. The received data set records are uniformly sized, and the mapping element converts the uniformly sized records into smaller sized fixed blocks, with the size of the uniformly sized records being an even multiple of the smaller sized fixed blocks. A map translates the data of the first record of the data set into the block id of the first block and continues to map the data set into a continuing sequence of fixed blocks. The records are thus mapped into FBA data records with fixed blocks as stored in the CKD disk data storage for direct access by the FBA data processing system, preferably as though they were a removable media.
