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.
