ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'
Finished: FAILURE

I know what the issue is, git clone command is not running from the directory where the git init was run. 
However, I can't find any parm where to add the change directory.  This Jenkins build works fine on Linux.

Hello Jerry,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Hm.. I'm not familiar with zOS, but it would appear they have a third party compile Git for it. I'm not sure exactly how to troubleshoot this. I will say, I don't know if this is a zOS git "feature" but where you run a git clone has no bearing on the ability to do so. If you have Git installed, you never have to run git init in a directory prior to running the clone. And the clone will create a new directory where the Git repository will reside. 

The stack trace seems to explicitly mention Jenkins, so we can see if it is a "Jenkins on zOS issue" or a "Git on zOS" issue by manually running the clone on the zOS server. You could also use Git client debug logging to see if you can get a more detailed error message (I wouldn't recommend posting the entire output on community though).
