in thread Writting IBM OS standard label EBCDIC tapes with Perl?

dd does convert asscii to ebcdic but it does NOT write the IBM OS standard label. Also later I need to read EBCDIC tapes created on a IBM mainframe that have variable lenght records. dd seems to completely ignore files on the tape where written like that.

    Unfortunately, I don't even know what that means :) I just threw it in as a suggestion -- instead of writing a converting module, one can just use dd.
