  EZBTPSOM discovers the bad character and sends an error back
  to the client using the Rcode that was set with the error.
  This clears the error and no EZZ6035I is issued for the error.

Problem conclusion

• EZBTPSOM will be changed to use a different Rcode field for the
  send solicitor, and also add a PARM1 field that will be loaded
  with the invalid character. If other than nulls or blank, it
  will show the bad character. This allows the EZZ6035I message
  to be issued to the console if DEBUG DETAIL CONSOLE has been
  set in the profile, with the 7001 error and parm1.
