Data crucial storage issue with ebcdic to ascii converter

Hi,

I am using following command to convert from ebcdic to ascii :-

dd if=input_file of=out_file conv=ascii

but, since input_ile itself is 10 GB big, out_file becomes around 2 to 3 times bigger... got space restrictions in the env..

I am stuck .. any help ..??
