My observations indicate that this will work as long as you issue
these commands in your normal login shell and then run dsmcad.
However, if these variable are set in a strartup script upon boot, it
won't work. ANS4042E will continue to be logged in dsmerror.log. (In
fact there is no need to set LC_ALL variable. It's enough to set the
LC_CTYPE and LANG variables only.)

I'd like to hear from anyone who was able make it work and survive reboots.

AFAIK, there is no /etc/locales.gen and locale-gen in SLES or RHEL.
The two major Linuxes for with the TSM client is produced and
supported.
