I think Shazam is looking for something less intensive :-)
My vendor issue was more than just about encoding it was about layout, how bolding was handled, etc. and we were automating it with an eye to the future when our primary vendor (not the printing vendor) drops their support for "greenscreen".

Subject: Re: RFE created ID:132221 ACS Printer Output add an option to specify a different encoding when downloading as text (.txt).
Importance: Low
If the question is, "How do I download a spooled file text dump in a specific encoding?" Here is a recipe:
1. CPYSPLF *TOSTMF without any special filter, for instance to
/home/me/myfile.ebcdic
2. /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/iconv -f IBM-037 -t ISO8859-1
/home/me/myfile.ebcdic >/home/me/myfile.txt
- If you don't want ISO8859-1 ("plain ASCII") choose an output
encoding from the list shown by iconv -l
3. From your workstation or whatever, scp me@myibmi:/home/me/myfile.txt
. which copies to the current directory.

Did I miss where you all suggested a viable encoding that works with
your vendor? UTF16? 7bit ASCII? EBCDIC?
