I'm puzzled that a vendor (an ISV?) wants to deterse data from z/OS on a Linux platform. Could it not just be FTP'd or otherwise transferred in some more ordinary way? Maybe ZIP'd or tar'd on z/OS if you need the compression?
FWIW, I've seen situations where a firewall will not allow zip or tar files through, but will let tersed files through. Having said that, I'm pretty sure the reason is that the firewall was unaware of terse format, and would have blocked it if it was able to recognize terse.
