-P correct use

[Dennis Malen]

If I execute a lookup to a file and do not post to that file and a -P is 
used, will that corrupt anything.

After the recent clarification, we understand that if we post we must have 
a -P. and should not have a -P if we are not posting.

What happens if we have a -P and we are not posting. I have some old 
processing that still has the -P. Is it imperative that the -P be removed.

Thanks!
