Look at the meaning of the convert operand in UNIX System Services Command Reference. YES specifies conversion table BPXFX000 which, unless you have changed it, is an alias for BPXFX111 which converts between IBM-037 and IBM-1047, both of which are EBCDIC. You probably need to specify BPXFX311 which converts between IBM-1047 (EBCDIC)and ISO8859-1 (ASCII).
