"OpenSSH's scp always transfers files as text" that may be true but it
is still EBCDIC text and I need it to be ASCII text.
The iconv command worked fine. For what it is worth out of the many
different protocols available I used.
iconv -f EBCDICUS -t US-ASCII ebcdic.input -o ascii.output
This process was successful for me.
Thanks for your help

You might need to check your NFS mount to do the conversion. I have
linux mounting a z/OS export and read and write files backwards and
forwards with no issues. When you are on your linux box can you read
the file correctly ? If so then the EBDCIC/ASCII conversion is taking
place. Otherwise remember that
OpenSSH's sftp always transfers files as binary.
OpenSSH's scp always transfers files as text.
