Crude solutions if you can't find another...

1, FTP the data from the EBCDIC maching to the ASCII machine. That will handle 
it 'automagically'

2. There simply  has to be somewhere available free for the download some kind 
of "ASCII to EBCDIC"  command line utilty program ...

C:\DOS> Ebd2ASC.exe  ebcdic_file ascii_file

(come to think of it...  I think I posted one of those many years ago myself. 
Let me check my website real quick... well, how about 
that: http://www.talsystems.com/tsihome_html/techcorner.html

3. (Emergency only)  Ask the mainframe people to handle the character 
conversions on their side.
