Issue reading certain job responses through zoautil_py.jobs.read_output()

[ejo6]

I'm trying to read a jobs print out that has been successfully run with zoautils_py in a script with zoautil_py.jobs.read_output(job_id, stepname="'*'", dd_name="", **kwargs). Unfortunately as part of the output there is a undecodable byte:

Output retrieval failed. Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8d in position 132: invalid start byte.

While reading the HEX representations of the output on z/OS it shows up as 00. z/OS can handle this well but unfortunately zoautils_py cannot.

I would like to get the binary encoding of the output back in binary so I can handle the decoding myself, but unfortunately there is no parameter to :/

Has anyone expereinced this error or have any tips on how to solve?

What version of ZOAU are you using?

Sorry, I'm on version 1.2.3

You're way too backlevel. The latest version of the 1.2.x series is 1.2.5.11, but that went out of support in April. You should really upgrade to v1.3.x. Before doing so, please consult the migration guide.
