Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Is this ALWAYS a way to convert Strings to EBCDIC?  It's
much less complicated than the AS400Text technique.  The only difference
would seem to be that is that the resulting array from getBytes is only the
length of the String, while with the AS400Text technique, it's as long as
the AS400Text definition.
