Using iconv to convert data FROM file READ from IFS

Hello
I have dredged through all the threads I can find about iconv and am determined 
not to be beaten.
I stat my IFS file to check it exists and at the same time get its CCSID 
(actually a 5u 0 straight after the codepage) and use that to open the file.
I read the file onto a pointer.
I open iconv with a to of 0 for the job and a from of the file's CCSID
Does not return an error.
I iconv the data on the pointer for the length of the data on the pointer back 
onto itself. Again this does not return an error, but the pointer is cleared 
and the length is set to zero. What am I doing wrong?
I could use QDCXLATE but that would be admitting defeat.
Michael
