Hex 1A is the "substitute character", normally used to indicate that a
character is invalid or cannot be displayed:

I didn't follow your process too closely; are you saying that you
start with native EBCDIC data on your i, and your program (which has
been in use successfully for years) converts it to ASCII while writing
a stream file?

And then are you saying that this program somehow translated the
EBCDIC x'7D' to ASCII x'1A'?

Also, did you say that in the *same batch*, sometimes the EBCDIC x'7D'
is correctly translated to ASCII x'27'?
