On our system we have a really useful logical called "UTIL".   I added a command to deassign this in the file I submit toe the batch queue.  I have two questions


1.       Why does this logical cause problems

2.       Might it cause problems if it is present in a subprocess.

In the first instance I defined MMK symbol in a that command file, but this caused problems as MMK wasn't defined in a subprocess. Once I added the definition to LOGIN.COM it was fine. I am worried that opposite problem might be true for UTIL (if it is present in subprocess it will cause problems)
