iconv problem

I'm attempting to use the iconv API suite for some quick ASCII to EBCDIC conversions. 

Unfortunately, I can't get the damned thing to work.
If I try to open a conversion descriptor with iconv_open, with a FROM CCSID of 850 and a TO CCSID of 37, it fails with errno=einval.
If I try to open a conversion descriptor with QtqIconvOpen, with a FROM CCSID of 850 and a TO CCSID of 37, I get garbage. Ditto for FROM CCSIDs of 437 and 819. 

As a character made famous by David Hedison would put it,
<tiny voice>Heellllllpppppp meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!</tiny voice>
