(Cross-posting to IBM-MAIN and MVS-OE) This thread on IBM-MAIN impelled me to this RCF. Do I understand correctly?
Hello, MHVRCFs. In: z/OS Version 2 Release 4 UNIX System Services Command Reference IBM SA23-2280-40 I see: cat - Concatenate or display text files Whereas in POSIX: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cat.html#tag_20_13_03 I see: INPUT FILES The input files can be any file type. ... not restricting input files to "text" I believe that z/OS UNIX largely complies to POSIX here. "text" is erroneous and should be removed. It's possible that with some options, "cat" depends on type text. Check with development.
