Is there any way in an RPG program to translate a record from a flat file
from ASCII to EBCDIC format?

I have a situation where I am reading a flat file that for some unknown
reason contains both ASCII lines and EBCDIC lines.
I can tell which are the ASCII lines because the all have the same hex value
in the last byte.
I thought of using something like the XLATE function but got stuck on how to
pull in the translation table.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions?

TIA
