The open source jEdit editor allows you to set the "Buffer options" for a particular file to any of several dozen different code pages, among them IBM037 and IBM1047. I have successfully browsed XMIT datasets from CBT zip files using this technique (though of course XMIT Manager is much more friendly).
Changing the jEdit "Buffer options" implies no change to the file itself, so can be used for browsing purposes. In the 5.0.0 version I did have to load the file, change the buffer options, close the file and re-open it in the same jEdit session to see the EBCDIC text displayed correctly. Not sure if that is a bug or not, but it does work.

I am looking for an EBCDIC viewer for Windows, to view flat datasets that were created on the mainframe. Edit is not necessary for what I need. Can anyone recommend one for me? Originally, I was looking for a plugin for Notepad++, but didn't find one.
