I can think of one way - write the EBCDIC to a single-column PF - created without DDS. This write can be done with some kind of command-line SQL processor command (many are out there), since you are in CL. Then use the CPY command to copy it to an IFS file - specify appropriate CCSIDs.

You could also write the data to a user space (this is easiest in RPG) - then, again, use the CPY command - since it uses path naming, the user space will be treated like any other stream file. Handle CCSIDs again.

I suggest pointer coding for writing to the user space - create it, then get the pointer to it. Ba-da-boom!
