    I am running a simple task 

    The action is happening , i Can see in SYSLOG command is being issued but this is the response I am receiving
    if a run a task using module zos_operator , I am able to get the answer.
    Not sure if its a console issue , but there is no error to look at.
    Any suggestions will be helpful.
    Regards,
    Manoj K Jadwani

    Hi Manoj, this appears this will require diagnosis, if you are able to, I suggest you engage the community who maintains the modules; you can start with a discussion or open an bug issue. The community has tooling that allows for bugs and discussions to be tracked, this forum is better for non diagnostic questions. Git issues and discussions are triaged weekly and then identified when they can be addressed, otherwise there is S&S available through Ansible Automation Platform. 

    Back to your question, 1.8.0-beta.1 will change the amount of time it waits for a response as well as how it waits, thus maybe the reason its coming back empty is because the results are slow. What happens when you run 'd r,a,s' or 'd r,a,jn'?
