I think "reinventing the wheel" with the IFS API's may just be the best option. Thank you for all the input.

It should be significantly easier to reinvent the wheel with Python
than with C or RPG. In iSeriesPython, the whole copy is done in 5
lines:

# begin script

pf = File400('MYPF', 'a', lib='MYLIB')

with open('/path/to/myStreamFile', 'rb') as f:
for line in f:
pf[0] = line.decode('cp1252').encode('cp037')
pf.write()

# end script
