Error description
The problem is caused by some code added in DFHPITQ to "escape" the content type. The issue is, that this code assumes the text is EBCDIC, in fact it is in UTF-8 encoding, so the escaping code actually corrupts it by converting unrecognized characters to EBCDIC spaces (0x40).
Local fix
modify code in DFHPITQ
