Conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII

Hi All,

I have a requirement to convert an EBCDIC file to ASCII.
I tried to use dd command, but it produces junk characters in resulting output.The file is basically an extract prepared from a couple of tables and has a header and a footer.

Any help/Pointers/Or code snippets to convert EBCDIC to ASCII and ASCII to EBCDIC is appreciated.

It is HP-UX B 11.11 OS.

Thanks,
Aravind

I use dd on HPUX and on Linux all the time for conversions.

What do you mean by "garbage"?
