I did find an alternative, though it seems.  You could open
it once and convert the data from EBCDIC to ASCII before
writing it and it seems to have the same effect.

I've done it both ways, and I'm convinced that the double open idiom is
better.  It's initially a bit more of a hassle, but once you've got it you
can write to any supported codepage.  I've found need to translate to
US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 fairly regularly.

If you're using QDCXLATE, there are only a limited number of conversion
tables.  While I wouldn't call it deprecated, I don't expect any
enhancements to the QDCXLATE codepage list.  You could certainly go to the
trouble to use the iconv API, but that's definitely more work than just
doing the double open.
