APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When executing batches or commands in "Run Command", outputs in
  console are garbled.
  The outputs are in local encoding, like MS932, Shift-JIS in
  Japanese, GB2312 in Chinese
  
  RIT does not handle Asian local multi-byte languages in console
  output of "Run Command",
  instead, it seems RIT interprets  the stream of bytes fixed as
  UTF-8 so I think this causes the corruption
  

Local fix
