I believe the answer to that is no. It is possible, however to create a custom z/OS Unicode Services table that matches the CONVXLAT table. You can even copy the (2) 256-byte records to make the Unicode Services tables. Once you have a custom table (a to->from codepage id plus a "technique"), you can use the "_ICONV_TECHNIQUE" environment variable to reference it.
Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com FWIW, you might want to look at the Co:Z Toolkit "todsn" / "fromdsn" / "tofile" / "fromfile" commands. These support iconv(), z/OS Unicode services, and single-byte CONVXLAT tables directly. They also support a bunch of other file/dataset conversion options.
