Usually SIXPACK DIRECT (the plain text directory) resides on MAINT 191 minidisk (accessed by CMS as 'A' disk).

The DIRECT SIXPACK command reads the file SIXPACK DIRECT; it finds the famous statement: DIRECTORY 231 3350 VM50-1 that means: write the directory on DASD  VM50-1 at address 231.

The location where DIRECT writes the directory on VM50-1 is specified in a map in VM50-1 DASD that was created by a FORMAT/ALLOCATE program.

In MAINT userid there's a statement: MDISK    231 3350 000 555 VM50-1 MW that defines as a fullpack minidisk the VM system disk VM50-1;
so DIRECT command has access to this disk at virtual address 231.

In order to write the directory from user OPERATOR you must:
1) IPL CMS (command DIRECT resides on MAINT 190 accessed as 'S' disk)
2) Have a link to MAINT 191 where SIXPACK DIRECT resides
3) Have a link to MAINT 231 where directory should be written.  

When you issued from MAINT the command 'ACC 231 Q' you tried to access with CMS the system VM DASD VM50-1 (and not the DIRECTORY as you thought).
