That's what I was trying to say. There is no MVS versus UNIX; there is only MVS, which includes UNIX.

In RACF, it's called "having an OMVS segment."

Strictly speaking I don't think that there is an "inside" and an "outside", just "use". So, just EXEC PGM=XXXXX and when the program makes its first Unix kernel call it will be "dubbed" and get a Unix process id. That's about as much as there is to establishing a program as a Unix process on z/OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
