There was quite a bit of hoopla at the time z/OS OMVS came out. It was indeed POSIX certified. There were also acerbic observations that because IBM was entering the fray as a newbie, they had no baggage to clutter their landscape such as other vendors--including themselves in the AIX arena--had to overcome in achieving certification. I questioned some Beemers a while back about POSIX. They were pretty sure that certification had expired.
