as far as I know node.js ... runs UTF-8 internally...

Okay, perhaps. Do you have a reference?

The PASE PDF explains that IBM's SQL CLI procedures call iconv() under the
covers to convert data streams from ASCII to EBCDIC and visa versa. If
node.js requires UTF-8, I suppose that would mean an additional conversion
step from ASCII to UTF-8 and visa versa.

The relevance of my last message was that the easiest bridge between PASE
and IBM i is via sending and receiving data streams (messages) via
inter-process communication rather than via program calls, which are
hampered by PASE and IBM i running in separate memory address spaces.
