Hi,
trying to determine why running perl in BPXBATCH is producing ASCII output.
//PERLCHK EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
//STDPARM DD *
SH
echo "_BPXK_AUTOCVT " $_BPXK_AUTOCVT ;

echo "_TAG_REDIR_ERR" $_TAG_REDIR_ERR ;
echo "_TAG_REDIR_IN " $_TAG_REDIR_IN ;
echo "_TAG_REDIR_OUT" $_TAG_REDIR_OUT ;
echo "perl -v" ;
perl -v

Hi Bruce,
This is a known issue, and we already have a new build of perl which fixes it. It's in QA currently and will be available soon.

Hi Bruce,
I did some research about this case, and here are the results:
1. bzip2 works incorrectly with BPXBATCH in any case, whatever the login shell bash or sh, it's also breaking the output of the next programs (so comment out bzip2 call in your program and try again). Internal ticket created for bzip2
2. gettext has incorrect output in case if login shell is sh, in case if login shell is bash output is correct. Internal ticket created for gettext
Also want to inform you that the latest build of perl (5.32.1-9) is available in https://condaserver.rocketsoftware.com/channels/zoss-appdev channel. This fixes the original issue of the thread.
Thanks,
Alexander
