I can only suggest that someone has altered the z/OS translation table.
0x5F in ASCII should be translated by all translation tables to 0x6D
EBCDIC.
If "SITE XLATE xxxxxxxx" or "SITE SBDATACONN xxxxxxx" (e.g. STANDARD)
isn't working, you can go direct to the iconv translations by specifying
"SITE SBDATACONN (1047,819)" The first number is the host code page, the
second is the workstation.
Codepage 819 = ISO 8859-1, Latin 1 = Unix/Linux
1252 = Windows (Western)
850 = OS/2
437 = MS DOS
1047 = POSIX EBCDIC
37 = US English EBCDIC
500 = International EBCDIC
923 = ISO 8859-15, Latin 9 (ASCII)
924 = ISO 8859-15, Latin 9 (EBCDIC)
And zillions more. (Yes, Virginia, ASCII has as many code pages as
EBCDIC.) You can read a bit about TCP/IP code pages at
http://www.vm.ibm.com/euro/TCPIP.html.
You can look at some of the zillions at
