There are several ways. The ICONV api is extremely fast and easy to use.
You can convert from any code page to any code page. EBCDIC code page I
used was 37 and the ASCII code page was 813. The procedure interfaces are
posted below.

Subject: EBCIDIC to ASCII
Hi,
I have to convert a file from EBCIDIC to ASCII format on AS/400 without
using ILE C becouse I don't have C complier with me.
Is there any utility to do this or any other method/way. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Vishal
