    Problem Text
    The implementation of this test is not correct when running on
    systems using EBCDIC-Code. The result of strcmp() using the test
    strings depends on setting of bit 0200 in the characters. In
    EBCDIC this bit is always set for alphanumerical characters. So we
    get a "Failed" result.

    The same aplies for the following Tests:

    ANSI.os/string/strcat 1
    ANSI.os/string/strchr 2
    ANSI.os/string/strcmp 1,3
    ANSI.os/string/strcspn 1
    ANSI.os/string/strncat 1
    ANSI.os/string/strncmp 1,3
    ANSI.os/string/strpbrk 1,2
    ANSI.os/string/strrchr 2
    ANSI.os/string/strspn 1
    ANSI.os/string/strstr 1,2
    ANSI.os/string/strtok 1,2
    Test Output
    /tset/ANSI.os/string/strcmp/T.strcmp 1 Failed
    Test Description:
    strcmp() returns an integer less than zero if the difference between
    the first pair of differing characters (interpreted as unsigned char)
    in s1 and s2 is less than zero.
    Posix Ref: Component STRCMP Assertion 8.1-04(A)
    Test Strategy:
    VERIFY negative return when first string has byte value > second
    string. Either string can contain 8 bit characters.

    Test Information:
    strcmp did not return expected value
    value of first argument : abcdefghi\212\213\214\215\216999
    value of second argument : abcdefghi\212\213\214\215\216000
    expected return value : < 0
    actual return value : 1
