Well, this is a poser. My first question is why you would even want this module in z/OS, since its main purpose is to convert EBCDIC data to a Unix or Windows environment.
   
  If you really do want it, it won't be easy. The module assumes that it will be running on an ASCII platform. I believe even a Unix System Services partition under z/OS uses ASCII. You, however, seem to be running in a true EBCDIC environment, so all of the character conversions are failing. This is to be expected.
   
  Solving this problem would require rewriting the entire module for the EBCDIC environment. There could then be two versions of the module, or perhaps the two could be packaged together and the module could detect its environment at make time.
   
  I don't have a z/OS environment available, so I am unable to help with this. Sorry about that!
