Github user gliptak commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/103#issuecomment-120172164 @garydgregory The one reference i'm seeing is at http://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/zs/en/zsl03071usen/ZSL03071USEN.PDF The system property os.arch for IBM SDK for z/OS, version 1.4.2 (31-bit) versions and earlier had a value of 390. From Java 5.0 onwards, the value of os.arch is s390. I'm not sure of the "z/os" reference as described at: http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0120__Development/ConditionthatteststheOStype.htm
