EBCDIC conversion

[Arne Garvander]

Is there a codepage in .net that converts from EBCDIC to ASCII and vice versa.
A have a home grown conversion in .net and it does not work for the ^
character.

You should read the stream with encoding 500 (IBM500) and leave it as
unicode if you work with .NET or re-write it with the Default encoding (or
something like 1252 (Windows-1252) for western languages)

Try this one:

Note that there are multiple variants of EBCDIC - you need to pick the
right one.

Different IBM computers have different EBCDIC encoding. Codepage 37 works
fine for me. EBCDIC tables that I found on the web all wrong.
