I won't be losing any sleep over it! I have seen many IBM installation
scripts that rely on cat supporting data sets. Just for fun, here is a
list of z/OS UNIX core-utils that use fopen().

Gil,
We certainly have seen that using data sets from z/OS Unix commands that don't
explicitly document support is your pet peeve. IMO this seems overly
pedantic, since IBM code that uses fopen (and works) is extremely unlikely to
stop.

- You can make awk not only act like (f)grep, but it also takes dsn syntax
since uses fopen().
Is that documented as supported?
