Hello,

has anybody knowledge/experience of the consequences of POSIX(ON) ?

Some C runtime library functions require POSIX(ON) (especially pthreads and 
friends).
 
Why is POSIX(ON) not set by default for 31 bit code? I tried to search in 
documentation for costs and disadvantages of POSIX(ON), the only thing I could 
find was in z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference:

"The default value for AMODE 64 is POSIX(ON)."

So, why is this not for AMODE(31) ?

"One of the effects of POSIX(ON) is the enablement of POSIX signal handling 
semantics, which interact closely with the Language Environment condition 
handling semantics."

What are the consequences of this? And for code that does not use threads?

Greetings,
Juergen
