in reply to How to write true utf8 data to a file on native ebcdic system?
It looks like, from what I have read, that :utf8 means :utf-ebcdic on ebcdic-based systems. Are you really using all 8-bits? It looks like :ascii ought to work, but obviously won't give you chars with the high-bit set. Otherwise, you might have to do the encoding before the writing. See p13 here, assuming you have not already read this.
