RE: ASCII/EBCDIC Conversion

Eric,

Have you coded these in ILE RPGIV?  When I open the conversion using
iconv_open or QtqIconvOpen I get the error message:

"3021-The value specified for the argument is not correct."

I have tried different code page ids.  What has worked for you.  I would
like to use 00850/00037.  My iconv_t is:

dToAscii          DS

 *                  return value to indicate if error occurred 
d ICOC_A                  5     52B 0 DIM(00012)

Am I totally lost on using these APIs?  Any help would be much appreciated.
