Rather, I believe Peter understood the iconv syntax correctly.

Yes. Is that what you have?
Translating -f IBM-420 -t IBM-1047 is futile because most of the
characters in IBM-420 don't exist in IBM-1047.
Describe your problem in detail. Do you have a file in IBM-420 that you want
to mail? Could you even post a sample to this list? Something like:
تماثيل الحدائق
(selected randomly from the Web.)
z/OS may make it unnecessarily difficult for you because z/OS
stores Arabic text backwards.
