You need both a Turkish "ASCII" code page, and an EBCDIC one that
contains the characters needed by Turkish. I put ASCII in quotes,
because we are really talking about ISO 8859-n character sets that are
extensions of ASCII, which remains a 7-bit code.

You can't translate Turkish into an EBCDIC code page like 037 that
simply doesn't contain the characters in the first place. The
character set you want, in IBM terminology, is 1152. This is encoded
in "ASCII" by ISO 8859-9, aka Latin 5, known to IBM as code page 920
(or 857 if you want the old-style PC smilies and such);  there are a
couple of EBCDIC ones: 1026 or 1155.

You can find all this on the IBM CDRA site
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid_registered.html
but these are not binary, ready-to-use translation tables. You would
have to assemble what you need, or having found the code page
combinations you want, search in your existing repository for such a
table using the from and to code pages, and the naming scheme.
