Local fix
Problem summary
This problem is specific to z/OS platform.When an unsupported encoding is used, its expected to fall back to the default encoding of the platform.When "export LC_ALL=Ar_AA.IBM-425" is set, both file.encoding property and ibm.system.encoding property get set as "IBM-425".Fallback mechanism implementation sets only the file.encoding to Cp1047.Above fallback mechanism does not affect to com.ibm.jvm.io.ConsoleInputStream class.
Problem conclusion
In the fix, we are trying to over come the problem bypassing the java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException exception. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 7 SR9 (7.0.9.0) 7 R1 SR3 (7.1.3.0) . Contact your IBM Product's Service Team for these Service Refreshes and Fix Packs.
