See the QDCXLATE AS/400 API. It can do EBCDIC to ASCII (and the other way, too) translation. A simple program that reads the file and converts each record shouldn't be too hard to do.

Subject: EBCDIC-to-ASCII

I have a file that is created in the evening and has to be FTPd to a non-400
service.  Therefore, the file has to be transfered in the evening unattended.
 I need to add a conversion routine to change from EBCDIC-to-ASCII and then
FTP the job.  It has to go in a CLP because FTP transfer is dependent on a
multiple of things completing normally first.  

My question, is there a EBCDIC-to-ASCII  program/rountine that I can put into
my clp that will translate file A EBCDIC into file B ASCII so I can FTP B.
