C, Rexx, and Java.
Two RPMs are up on GitHub: 64-bit PC Linux (AMD/Intel) and 64-bit Z Linux.

Have you tried configuring z/OS to use the linemode console?
Been so long that I'm forgetting what it's called. (Something Alan
Altmark would know!)
It's the thing which talks to the VINPUT (VMSG/PVMSG) interface. I think
it's functionally similar to SYSASCII (but EBCDIC, duh).
We're NOT
As others have said, you need to feed the list-o-commands into the
interpreting shell.
Another tool that should be recommended is 'sudo'. But I'll defer
commentary on that just now for sake of brevity.
Don't fear "scripting".
The input to 'sh' or to 'su' can be from a USS file, but it can

This "file tagging" is completely new for me. Please pardon my ignorance.
The behavior you describe (some utils honor the tag, others don't)
sounds perfectly typical, totally expected.
There *must* be a default, and that would predate the availability of a
"tag", so for apps to not "honor" a
ast "Linux to Linux" with "Linux to USS" and the question of what
the system provides, and *how* it provides that, becomes dramatically
more significant.
And we're *still* saddled with platform optimizations.

Linux-s390x presents the same kernel interface to userland as Linux-i386.
Porting to USS has (at least) two significant hurdles: EBCDIC and a
