We have a utility that has always required POSIX(ON), because it uses System 
SSL and other Unix-y stuff. In investigating something else today, I removed 
that-and the utility kept running. After scratching my head and verifying 
various stuff, I finally tried an explicit POSIX(OFF)-and it failed as I had 
expected it to when no POSIX() was specified.

 

Did this change at some point? We're on z/OS 2.4. I'd love to remove this weird 
note from our doc if it's no longer needed (or at least to say "If you are on 
z/OS x.y or later.").

 

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=options-posix still says it 
defaults to OFF and can be overridden. There's no other CEEOPTS in the job I'm 
running.

 

What am I missing (here, I don't need a complete list of my many faults)?
