POSIX(ON) is perfectly fine for new code. From an administration perspective, the user running a POSIX(ON) program needs a RACF OMVS Segment. That's really not that big a deal. Obviously, if you run in USS, you already have that set up.
If you have existing code (say COBOL) that is running with POSIX(OFF) and you add a component (say Java) that requires POSIX(ON) there are subtle differences in the way signals are delivered. So you should probably do extra testing when first adding Java to a COBOL program that has been running for years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
