APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Filenames of entries in zip files are typically encoded based on
  the
  filesystem's character encoding. The downloadartifacts REST API
  functions incorrectly
  when the encoding is not UTF-8, or when one server is a
  particular operating system and you are downloading to a
  different operating system using double-byte characters. You
  will see the output as garbled characters.
