Description: Previously, z/OS® shell commands (which are EBCDIC applications) could not be used to process untagged z/OS text files containing ASCII or Unicode data. They also could not override the code set value of tagged files. In Version 2 Release 1, support was added to a select set of commands that process text files to allow additional control over the text conversion of those text files.
When change was introduced: z/OS V2R1.
