V7R5 with PTFs for 3.0.2 Debug Service installed.
/QIBM/UserData/IBMIDEBUGSERVICE/startDebugService_workspace folder does not yet exist.
When starting the Debug Service job from iNav, the startDebugServiceNavigator.log file gets created with a CCSID 437.
When starting the Debug Service job from within VS Code, the file gets created with a CCSID 37.
Of these 2, 437 is preferable as you can read the file contents from an ssh bash session using a simple cat or tail command, which isn't the case with 37 (in that case, iconv is needed). Ideally, shouldn't this be 1208 though?
