Encoding not honored for spool files #3172

Closed VitGottwald closed 1 month ago

VitGottwald commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug

When I specify encoding in my z/OSMF profile it is honored for dataset retrieval/upload but not for spool file retrieval.

This is most likely because the following call does not take encoding into account https://github.com/zowe/zowe-explorer-vscode/blob/b43eccb8c6a0ac35b0cd6282d27afc65f7f9f3f7/packages/zowe-explorer/src/trees/job/JobActions.ts#L177

To Reproduce

  1. Set encoding in zosmf profle to ibm278
  2. Create a PDS member containing a nordic national character like Ö
  3. Print it to spool - e.g. via IEBGENER
  4. Open the PDS member and see Ö
  5. Open the spool file and see @

Expected behavior Encoding from zosmf profile is honored both for dataset and spool operations.

The situation that I ran into this was when looking at a listing of a COBOL program that uses a nordic encoding.
