RTC scm command garbage returned on z/OS
From a z/OS system that I have entered via telnet, I issue the SCM -v CLI command and this is returned (garbage followed by what looks like the version information):
So, I'm guessing that I have a setup problem, or there is a bug in the z/OS SCM CLI.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Frank,
The garbage in the beginning is almost certainly UTF-8 output. I think the first step towards figuring out what's going on is deciphering it. Try redirecting the stdout and stderr to files:
scm -v > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt
Take a look at the resulting files to see which one has the garbage in it, and try converting it to EBCDIC to see if you get anything intelligible:
iconv -f UTF-8 -t IBM-1047 stdout.txt
iconv -f UTF-8 -t IBM-1047 stderr.txt

All the garbage is in stderr. stdout was clean and contained:

I checked and found that the directory getting the permissions error is indeed inaccessible:
ls -al /u/JAZZ/ccm/eclipse/configuration
total 64
drwxrwxrwx 4 ISPFDMN SYSSTC 8192 Aug 8 11:53 .

drwx------ 6 BPXOINIT SYSSTC 8192 Aug 8 11:58 scmtools
What permissions should this directory have? Should it be like temp? 777+Sticky bit?
