zopen utilities as part of standard USS

Make the zopen utilties part of BCP. This way everybody will have it 'on their system' My suggestion is to put all 'that cool stuff' in /zopen There's nothing more to it to be honest ;) You might wanna start with a POC-trial-run in the next ADCD d...

All shell and utilities must respect the code page tag on all files.

I'm primarily interested in the openssh, specifically ssh-keygen, but all shell/utilities need to be code page tag aware. This is extremely important as some ported tools will create files as ISO8859-1 causing those files to be unusable by some of...

To have parameter SYSSYM set to ALLOW as default instead of DISALLOW.

Today in zOS2.5 we have parameter SYSSYM set to DISALLOW as default for all jobclass in the system. With all the migration that is happening and will happen from JES3 to JES2 customers will need at some point to change this parameter to allow if t...
