Display the output from stdout

[ArulDBA]

I'm having trouble displaying the stdout from Z. Not sure how this can be addressed. Please guide me it any config changes are needed.
Trying to submit a JCL and display the output.

I see "FSUMA912 Cannot set locale: ...": in the messages you included. I believe you have that in your environment settings.

if you want to use LC_ALL, you probably need tot set LANG=the same value in environment. LIke this:
LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8

In our test area, we set LANG=C while LC_ALL is left to default, but our test systems may have different defaults from yours.

Why not try LANG=C and remove the LC_ALL line, just to see if that helps.

In addition to Rich's comment, update your pipelining to ansible_ssh_pipelining: true

[richp405]

@ArulDBA We would like to know if this change helped or not, so we can either close the case, or investigate further. Let us know in this thread.

Thanks.

@richp405 Please close the ticket. I'm working with Vendor Tectia on ssh pipeline issue.

As requested, I'm closing the ticket.
