****************************************************************
The z/OS Connect OpenAPI 3 functions use the default CCSID of
the platform that the product is running on. For z/OS Connect
running on Linux this causes the container received in CICS to
be in CCSID 437, but for z/OS Connect running on z/OS the
container CCSID is 1208.
