mvp install of PVTMACS fails

[gmgauthier]

The prerequisite installations for DSSDUMP fail due to a utf-8 error in the lookup for PVTMACS.

Console output:

HHC01950I Starting guest issued panel command: SH MVP/MVP  INSTALL 'PVTMACS'
HHC01603I SH MVP/MVP  INSTALL 'PVTMACS'

Attempting to install PVTMACS independently, failed for the same reason...

Here is a snapshot of line 24125 (in context) in the PVTMACS package (at MVSCE/MVP/packages):

Ooh nice catch, I'll track this here but in the future can you use the MVP git repo to report MVP issues? https://github.com/MVS-sysgen/MVP

Alright, I've fixed the issue BUT its exposed an issue with hercules (when i try to install PVTMACS hercules crashes). I think for now I'm going to remove DSSDUMP (which is the only package that relies on PVTMACS and is already available in SYSC.LINKLIB) and PVTMACS
