And maybe Rocket will someday get a z/OS version of gawk out the door. That
would be a real blessing.
David Pitt's ported gawk to z/OS years ago. If you've got a C compiler
you can easily build it yourself.
If you already have Rocket Ported Tools installed (curl/gzip) run the
following commands from a shell.
curl -k -O https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-5.0.1.tar.gz
gzip -dc gawk-5.0.1.tar.gz | pax -rv -o from=iso8859-1
cd gawk-5.0.1
./configure
make
