z/OS Unicode Services, on which I think all of these CCSID translation 
implementations are based, fully supports UTF-8 (assuming that's what you mean

Gil,

That would interesting if a 'DD SYSOUT' could do it, hmmm, I think the issue I 
saw was related to an older PC code page, my guts keep telling this. Guys, I 
appreciate what you said I want to dig a tad I know there are Unicode APIs ...

Regards,

Scott
