I suggested using dd or iconv. Did you try either of them? Is the data from your mainframe in fixed length records. If so use something like:
If not, use something like:

iconv_open
ICONV_OPEN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ICONV_OPEN(3)NAME
iconv_open - allocate descriptor for character set conversion
SYNOPSIS
#include <iconv.h>
iconv_t iconv_open(const char *tocode, const char *fromcode);
DESCRIPTION
The iconv_open function allocates a conversion descriptor suitable for converting byte sequences from character encoding fromcode to char-
acter encoding tocode.
The values permitted for fromcode and tocode and the supported combinations are system dependent. For the GNU C library, the permitted val-
ues are listed by the iconv --list command, and all combinations of the listed values are supported.
The resulting conversion descriptor can be used with iconv any number of times. It remains valid until deallocated using iconv_close.
A conversion descriptor contains a conversion state. After creation using iconv_open, the state is in the initial state. Using iconv modi-
fies the descriptor's conversion state. (This implies that a conversion descriptor can not be used in multiple threads simultaneously.) To
bring the state back to the initial state, use iconv with NULL as inbuf argument.
RETURN VALUE
The iconv_open function returns a freshly allocated conversion descriptor. In case of error, it sets errno and returns (iconv_t)(-1).
ERRORS
The following error can occur, among others:
EINVAL The conversion from fromcode to tocode is not supported by the implementation.
