Unicode read / write support

[doppio-wacharin]

This PR was created based on the discussion on the following issues => https://github.com/MarketSquare/Robot-Framework-Mainframe-3270-Library/issues/70

Initially, I

• created 2 more keywords which are Write Unicode and Write Bear Unicode
• Modify the decoding when get text from the screen, from unicode_escape decoding to utf-8 decoding

Hi @doppio-wacharin I pull your branch and run the tests in PUB400.. the ones in "atest/mainframe.robot" but got a lot of failures, like that: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa7 in position 41: invalid start byte

log.zip

The problem is in py327.py line 473.. return cmd.data[0].decode("utf-8") if return to: "unicode_escape" all the tests passes.. but I can´t be sure if the Thai chars works, because pub400 don´t have support for them... I try to use

Write Unicode Bare กขค

but the screen in pub400 show me like that:

I don't have pub400 but let me try to test it in the hercules, thx

You can test in PUB400 without create a user... here is the configurations: https://github.com/MarketSquare/Robot-Framework-Mainframe-3270-Library/wiki/Keyword-Tests

I have created a simple script for this. and this seams working.

But now the atest seams broken. I'm checking whether it is because of my change or something else.

[doppio-wacharin]

The failure in the atest is my mistake T_T ( I tried to run all of this on macbook ) All pass on the ubuntu docker

I think all are good now. Do you have anything else to be adjusted? or any concerns? @samuelpcabral

[samuelpcabral]

@doppio-wacharin as soon I have some free time I take a look.. thanks

[samuelpcabral]

Sorry for the late @doppio-wacharin I just have time to see now.. I checkout your branch again.. but still having issues in reading with utf-8
