  • 1.  Using Python with JCL & Rexx

    Posted 10/02/24 11:05 AM

    Hello,

    I hope you are well.

    I have Python 3.12 and ZOAU 1.3.1 installed on my Z/OS and I read the tutorial "Using Python with JCL & Rexx - IBM Z and LinuxONE Community".

    I tested the different examples.

    For the first example (hello.py + pyjob.jcl), I had no issues.

    My problem occurred when I launched the second part (dd.py + pyjob.jcl) with the file IBMUSER.JCL.DEMO.DD.

    I received an RC=256 and the message: SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xb1' in file /u/ibmuser/jcl/dd.py on line 1, but no encoding declared; see https://peps.python.org/pep-0263/ for details.

    I tried to put # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- at the beginning of the file, but I still have the same issue.

    Do you know how I can solve this encoding issue?

    Best regards,
    Bruno LAURENT

    Sorry, Python is not one of the languages I work with.

    Kind regards,
