Process a file with DBCS data

I have been provided a file/table from a customer that appears to contain
DBCS data in a few of the fields/columns. The data in the columns begins
with x'0E' and end with x'0F' and the CCSID is 937.

Can I convert the data to CCSID 37 and to our normal SBCS data that we can
use in an RPG program and also SQL SELECT statements? Any examples or
links to helpful info would be greatly appreciated. My googling has not
resulted in a working solution.

I have attempted to use the QtqIconvOpen, iconv, and iconv_close API's to
convert from CCSID 937 to 37 but the data is still not readable. My thought
is I also need to convert it from DBCS to SBCS.

Thanks in advance for any assistance or direction.
