I've never done such a conversion before.  EBCDIC isn't the most universal of character sets.  But, here's a link that might help:

http://codesnipers.com/?q=node/155

If I find something more concrete, I'll post it here.

You might run into some interesting problems if your EBCDIC data contains any packed data fields.  If your data has packed data, then you will need to do field by field conversion.

giltjr:
Why?  If you are running a application on a distributed platform and getting data from IBM mainframe, depending on how you are doing this it should be converted automatically.  Execpt of course in the case of transfer the data in binary mode.

Example:  If you are conneting to DB2 on z/OS using IBM's type 4 JDBC driver, DB2 on the mainframe will convert the code to Unicode (I forget the exact code page) and then the JDBC driver will convert to ASCII.

jeffld:
Packed data is sometimes considered binary because it is non printable.  In order to be printable, it must first be unpacked.

Ideally, if the EBCDIC record contains packed data, I would recommend that it first be unpacked, then the EBCDIC to ASCII translation will be much easier.

what do you need to do ? what is your goal ?

This looks like a good start:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=446495&messageID=2020732

   You may find some inconsistencies in the conversions however - I have developed my own translate table for EBCDIC to ASCII because of this problem - attached below. I've got a REXX example of the same if you're interested.......

One of the option is to use the iconv() APIs for true CCSID conversions. This allows for programming that can more easily adapt to different languages, different system and job CCSIDs, various flavors of Unicode, etc.
