Power File encoding in Unix

1. I have a shell script which creates a file using cat command. How can i find what encoding the file follows (e.g. UTF8, ANSI)?

2. I want to convert that file to PC-ANSI format. How can i achieve that?

I am using HP-Unix.

PX_SET_INPUTENCODING(3) 				     Library Functions Manual					   PX_SET_INPUTENCODING(3)

NAME
PX_set_inputencoding -- Set encoding for output SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h> int PX_set_inputencoding(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *encoding) DESCRIPTION
Sets the input encoding for all alpha fields. It is used when data is stored into a record. The encoding must be a name as it is described by the man and info pages of recode or iconv whatever is used. A common value is `latin1' on Unix systems. If you do not set the encoding the function PX_get_data_alpha(3) will return field data in the original encoding otherwise it will recode the field data. This function is a short cut form PX_set_parameter(pxdoc, "inputencoding", encoding) and is deprecated. RETURN VALUE
Returns -2 if recoding is not supported and a value < 0 in case of an error, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
PX_set_data_alpha(3), PX_set_targetencoding(3), PX_set_parameter(3), iconv(1), recode(1) AUTHOR
