    Problem Summary This test may fail on non-ASCII implementations because of a hard-
    coded ASCII character.
    Problem Text This test may fail on non-ASCII implementations because of a hard-
    coded ASCII character.
    This test has a dependancy on the ASCII encoding for the '_' character
    (octal 137). The script has the following statement:
    -------mfile_type----------
    0 d1 =10 Message: %d
    0 d1 =0x10 Message: %d
    0 d1 =010 Message: %d
    0 s string_type Message: %s
    0 s octal\137string\137type Message: %s
    0 s esc\\\a\bchar\f\n\rstring\t\v\ type Message: %s
    0 u1 =10 Message: %u
    ---------------------------------
    -------file.sh Line 382----------
    echo "octal_string_type" > file_1_octal_string_type.tmp
    ---------------------------------
    -------file.sh Line 610----------
    # Test with the octal string type field.
    file -m mfile_type file_1_octal_string_type.tmp > $CT_STDOUT 2>
    $CT_STDERR
    CT_EXIT_VALUE=$?
    # Verify the exit status is zero.
    # Verify the standard output contains the string:
    # "file_1_octal_string_type.tmp: Message: octal_string_type".
    if [ $CT_EXIT_VALUE -ne 0 ]; then
    SetResult $TET_FAIL "Expected exit code = 0; Received
    $CT_EXIT_VALUE"
    else
    SetResult $TET_PASS
    fi

    grep -e "file_1_octal_string_type.tmp: Message: octal_string_type"
    $CT_STDOUT > /dev/null
    ---------------------------------

    octal 155 is the proper representation for the '_' character on our
    implementation. This test has a hard-coded dependency for the value
    of the '_' character.
    mfile_type should be dynamically generated.
    e.g. on an ASCII platform, mfile_type should be following:
    -------mfile_type for ASCII------
    0 d1 =10 Message: %d
    0 d1 =0x10 Message: %d
    0 d1 =010 Message: %d
    0 s string_type Message: %s
    0 s octal\137string\137type Message: %s
    0 s esc\\\a\bchar\f\n\rstring\t\v\ type Message: %s
    0 u1 =10 Message: %u
    ---------------------------------
    on an EBCDIC platform,mfile_type should be following:
    -------mfile_type for EBCDIC-----
    0 d1 =10 Message: %d
    0 d1 =0x10 Message: %d
    0 d1 =010 Message: %d
    0 s string_type Message: %s
    0 s octal\155string\155type Message: %s
    0 s esc\\\a\bchar\f\n\rstring\t\v\ type Message: %s
    0 u1 =10 Message: %u
