Using the 'Download ZIP' option on Github Rep with z/OS?

Question

Using z/OS 2.5 shell interface using bash:

When using the Code Download ZIP option the zip file appears fine but when unzip'd the contents are not tagged as they should be. In my test case the elements (source code) should be tagged as IBM-1047 but after using unzip they are ISO-8859.

Any options to resolve this?

Answer 1

The solution is to update the zginstall.rex script to test for ISO-8859 and do an iconv to IBM-1047 for those files prior to using the oget to copy the file into a z/OS dataset or PDS member.
