Unix IFS Open API

Alan,

What you want to do is first create the file with codepage 437; close
the file; and then re-open the file in text mode.  This will cause
the second open to convert data from your job CCSID to/from 437.

I'm not sure what the invalid argument may be, but errno 3021 is the
same as getting CPE3021 (which is not overly useful).
