Much of the variation in behavior can be attributed to the difference
between JCL:
    //NAME    JOB   ...
    //STEP    EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER
    //SYSIN    DD   *
    //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=(,)
    //SYSUT2   DD  DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(1000,100),
    //  DSN=OUTPUT.FILE
    //SYSUT1   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=INPUT.FILE

and UNIX:
    cp INPUT.FILE OUTPUT.FILE

I'm more motivated to save the former in a member and issue
the latter interactively
