Is the iconv_t cd object reusable?
Yes. that's the whole point of having iconv_open(). It performs all the set up necessary to do the conversion. The conversion descriptor can then be used for repeated conversions.
When I repeatedly call int rc = iconv(cd, &pRecord,&inBytesLeft,&pAsciiBuffer,&outBytesLeft); I get a message to the effect that the descriptor is bad.
Your code is probably trashing the descriptor. Scott's example code works fine in a loop.
Does one have to create a new iconv_t object for each call to iconv()?
No. You can even create many conversion descriptors for common conversions, keep them all open, and swap between them as necessary.
