Support all characters in the SJ (Show Job) function

We need SJ (Show Job) functionality in Remote Systems view to support all characters (even nonprinting hex characters) in the scenario of opening, maybe editing and resubmitting a JCL with these types of characters.
This request is related to PMR 20212,228,631.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. This request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and for this reason, we will not be implementing it. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    Similarly, if a spool file containing control characters is opened, the correct values should be shown for the characters when the line is displayed in hex.
