I would say that if you're dubbed then you're running under Unix. If not, not.

Actually, I considered asserting that there is no such thing as running on z/OS NOT under UNIX. <g> I believe that "z/OS is UNIX" is a true statement. Most of us in this group think of z/OS as a bunch of traditional stuff with USS glued on top. From the Open Group's legal point of view, z/OS is UNIX with some extra, proprietary stuff thrown in (as is Windows Server). USS is not something you "run under." USS is a set of interfaces into various z/OS services. As is JCL. As is LE. As is TSO.

Do you mean - - using z/OS Unix syscalls? - using the z/OS Unix file system? - using the z/OS Unix shell? FWIW - I contend that there is no such thing as "running under Unix" on z/OS.
