The biggest (only?) drawback to using tokens is if you also are using the CHKPT macro (or coding CHKPT=EOV in JCL, which invokes CHKPT macro.)
If you are using CHKPT then the only tokens that can be active are ones that are TASK LEVEL and defined with the IEANT_CHECKPOINTOK persist option. Otherwise you get S43F abend with message IHJ001I jobname,stepname (ddname,dev#,volser) INVALID CHECKPOINT C0000001 (36-6-8) MODULE = IHJQCP32 But CHKPT itself has a lot of restrictions. A simple test program written with a BAKR at the entrance will fail due to the cross memory restrictions documented in z/OS DFSMSdfp Checkpoint/Restart Publication No. SC26-7401-01 Replacing the BAKR with an STM allows the CHKPT to work ok.
