    Problem Summary ASCII dependency due to incorrect placing of tr -d ' ' in pipeline
    Problem Text This testcase is failing on our EBCDIC platform as a result of change
    made in VSC5.2.4 to use grep rather than grep -F (fgrep) to verify the
    contents of the uid, gid, mtime, chksum and devmajor fields of the USTAR
    format.

    There is a ASCII dependency in this testcase which leaves an extra space
    in the field being grep-ed. We believe this dependency was always
    there, but only uncovered with this change, since grep cares about the
    extra space. The description below demonstrates the problem for
    test_file.stdout3 which contains the uid field. The same problem exists
    for the other fields.

    The test suite runs the following command:
    cat test_file.stdout3 | tr -d ' ' | native | grep '[^0-7]' >/dev/null
    2>/dev/null || RC1=$?

    The "tr -d" command says to delete all spaces (' ') from it's output.
    However, the ascii test_file.stdout3 has no EBCDIC space, just an ASCII
    one.

    I believe the "native" function should be run before the tr command.
