Yes: Kermit:

One of Kermit's unique features is the ability to transfer text files
between unlike platforms and convert their record formats and character sets
as part of the transfer process.
You'll need IBM Mainframe Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k370.html
It is available for VM/CMS, MVS/TSO, CICS, etc.
For UNIX (Linux, SCO, Solaris, etc), C-Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
For the PC with Win9x/NT/2000 or OS/2, Kermit 95:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/k95.html
For the PC with DOS or Win3.x, MS-DOS Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html
Example: to transfer a French-language text file from a PC, where it is
encoded in PC Code Page 850, to the IBM Mainframe, where it is encoded in
Country Extended Code Page 500, you would:
1. Tell Kermit on the PC to:
set file type text
set file character-set cp850
set transfer character-set latin1
2. And tell Kermit on the mainframe to:
set file character-set cp500
And then transfer the file.
