Could it be Unicode that has been translated to EBCDIC as if it were
ASCII?
Check the first two bytes, if they are FE FF then it was almost
certainly Unicode.

On a mainframe a small assembly-language routine that uses a TRTO
instruction to views what you have as a DBCS and translates it into an
SBCS, x'' to x'00', x'0100' to x'01', x'0200' into x'02', etc.,
would do what needs to be done.
Be aware that C and other languages that support C's strings

nulls. They say that is the way it comes from the purchased software they have
on their workstation. The file has a null character inserted after every
character so it looks like this
