EBCDIC <=> ASCII conversion has always been fraught, and cannot be done with 100% success, as the character sets represented are not identical (and there is the problem of which EBCDIC...). I've done a lot of porting to & from IBM platforms and it is not as straightforward as it should be. EBCDIC isn't the only issue. </p>
