Error description

• The script that is used to invoke profile augmentation on
  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS only supports EBCDIC
  file encodings when running profile augmentation. This requires
  special logic in the profile augmentation config actions of
  stack products when accessing ASCII files on the z/OS
  platform. By supporting an ASCII file encoding on z/OS for
  profile augmentation the config actions of stack products do
  not need to be modified to handle ASCII files on the z/OS
  platform (the same logic will work for both the distributed and
  z/OS platforms). Note that the default file encoding still
  needs to be EBCDIC so that profile augmentation for existing
  stack products is not affected by this update.
