Beautiful, just add a HANDLER keyword to the file spec and recompile to get dynamic type conversion on the RPG I/O. Is there any public description of the APIs provided to the handler code by RPG so I could get a deeper understanding? Has anyone written a handler like that?

There is only one "API" involved - the one you write!

I've written a couple of articles on writing Handlers for OA. This one talks to converting printer output to a web output http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/-Webulating--Printer-Output-Revisited/ it also links to other articles on the topic.
