Hi Everyone,

I am trying to setup my Gitlab Runner to SSH into my z/OS and execute command using Rocket Bash.

Bash version - 5.1

When the runner connects to the z/OS and executes command via SSH, am getting the error below:

It seems to me like the command being executed by the runner is not getting read in the correct encoding.

Is there any special configuration that is required to have the correct encoding?
