You can be certain that POST will always support the CS quick-post protocol and the LOCAL LOCK.
I'm curious, as nothing pops to mind: has there been any case where the serialization of a documented programming interface has changed? Maybe I should limit my question to z/OS BCP where compatibility tends to be more of a gospel than elsewhere. By the way, the slightly more complete protocol is: -- Before anyone could possibly wait on it or post it, someone must make sure the ECB is zero (or at least has bits 0 and 1 zero). -- Then post and wait, or wait and post -- Waiter wakes up, clears the ECB, then does its stuff (posssibly going back to wait). Waiter should not "do its stuff" and then "clear the ECB".
