Mix of ASCII and EBCDIC in error messages

[ccc13481]

Hi

While having an error in my YAML in the config file I got an error message:

Try --help to get usage information, or use --verbose option to display more details.
.....................€..<.......................!.....>.%.....?>.........>../..^.>../>..^.>.^..?^/_%^.?>........€..<......../.%....?.../>.%/...€?....?>...../..?_^/%^.?>........€..<......../.%....?.../>.%/...€?....?>...../..?>.....&.../..:?......:?.........`/_%.?%....2023-06-26 09:19:02 ZWELNCH:50593908 C009232 WA
2023-06-26 09:19:02 ZWELNCH:50593908 C009232 ERROR ZWEL0030E failed to prepare Zowe instance

Giving the error message in both ASCII and EBCDIC is just confusing.

I have downloaded the config file and the STC output and attached them. They are downloaded binary so not to make it more confusing.
