The problem I actually have is that if I use SVC202 (or its modern equivalent, see I am 10 years behind on some things) and the "thing" that is run as a result of the SVC202 is another OS program, when it returns I may have "issues". I am now sorting these out, for example by using "SET STORECLR ENDSVC" and choosing DD names more carefully, but it is a bit fiddly ... > Over time, some CMS-friendly features, such as the > ability code CMS filenames crept in, but > basically, you still have OS compilers.
