zos-node-accessor doesn't work well with Node.js version 10+

[phamct]

Dear developers, this can be considered a report to you. We had problem getting z/Os job output with zos-node-accessor and found out that it was because of upgrading Node.js version from v8 to v10.

Switching back to Node.js v8, things work again. Yet our team wish to let you know about this case in case you have solution for it in the future.

We also found document informing that IBM SDK for Node.js is supporting up to Node.js version 8. We guess zos-node-accessor might be limited by that.

zos-node-accessor has been a key part in our project and we would like to thank you again for this tool. Thank you.

Many thanks for your reporting this problem to us!

We mostly focuses on Node.JS version 6 and 8 with the efforts aligned with IBM SDK for Node.JS on z/OS. I suppose your Node.JS app doesn't run on z/OS, right?

I'm afraid we will not fully support version 10 in near future, but can try to fix any specific issue found on version 10.

Thanks again for your feedback! We're pleased to know zos-node-accessor does help to other z/OS projects.

@std4lqi Thank you for your response. Our Node.JS app is running in Windows, Ubuntu (Linux for z), and MacOS, using zos-node-accessor to connect to z/OS systems. zos-node-accessor has been working wonderfully.
Best wishes to you and the team.

You can also use zos-utils npm package , which supports NodeJS versions up to V12.04.0.
