What you are saying is that your testsuite is not portable. It may or
may not work on some systems and good luck if it does not.  If I were
to try a z/OS system then your code would certainly break there. I can
and will test that.

ps: I recall I was the person ISC reached out to with your internal
      code that you could not get running on a customer system. I was
      the one that fixed that problem and did it with a smile. Maybe
      you need to get your head out of the clouds.
