Subject: How to convert US EBCDIC -> CP850 ?
Message-ID: <UNcJ5.103$IZ.19146@read2.inet.fi>

Hello,
We need to convert files from "us ebcdic" to cp850.
These files contain mostly names with accented characters.
Unfortunately those files come from as/400 as "us ebcdic".
(they should be "finnish ebcdic", or swedish, but this cannot be changed
without reinstalling the system...)
Now we need a way to convert them either to dos cp850
or unix 7 bit swedish, either by using "translate" or by
using any script/program.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance
