I suspect a bug with bash. You should post your repeatable test case on
Rockets z/OS Open Source Ported Tools forum. Can you enter bash
--version to get the version. I know Rocket recently released a new
ASCII version of bash using their z/OS port of gcc.

Can the behavior be replicated with /bin/sh?

Worth a try.



The OP posted a case later than the one you cited, largely
"iconv file | head".  He needed to add "-B" to "head" to
make it work.  I don't see shell involvement there.

The fact that it's using pipe operators implies the shell is in play. As I said, I would take this to Rockets forum which is a more appropriate place to discuss bash.


But
does bash supply unsolicited arguments to utilities?

Appendix L describes too many knobs and levers.

I had to add the -B to prevent “head” from doing autoconvert on the file.

-bash-4.3# iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t IBM-1047 trace_large.log | head -B
