Posting "Does not work" without explanation does not help you or anyone. If a command does not work for you, please show the exact circumstances you used it, and the exact error or malfunction you received. Do not paraphrase errors, or post the text as links, images, or attachments if you can avoid it: Paste the exact message, in code tags, like [code] text [/code] or by selecting the text and using the button.
Thank you.

We also need to know more about the data files. When people say "EBCDIC" they often mean "packed decimal" which is a completely different problem.
Long story short, if you can't post a representative sample of the data - preferably fed through
hexdump -C < file.dat first - we can't help you.

language::intercal::charset::ebcdic
INTERCAL::Charset::EBCDIC(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation INTERCAL::Charset::EBCDIC(3pm)
NAME
Charset::EBCDIC - allows to use EBCDIC string constants in ASCII programs (and v.v.)
SYNOPSIS
use Charset::EBCDIC 'ascii2abcdic';
my $a = ebcdic2ascii "(EBCDIC text)";
DESCRIPTION
Charset::EBCDIC defines functions to convert between a subset of ASCII and a subset of nonstandard EBCDIC (since there isn't such a thing
as a standard EBCDIC we defined our own variant which is guaranteed to be incompatible with all versions of EBCDIC used by IBM hardware -
however, when we have chosen a code for a character, we have made sure that at least one - but certainly not all - IBM models used that
same code, so the choice cannot be criticised). If you really want to know, several variants of EBCDIC are listed in RFC 1345, which is
available from the usual sources.
Two functions, ebcdic2ascii and ascii2ebcdic are exportable but not exported by default. They do the obvious thing to their first argument
and return the transformed string.
EBCDIC CHARACTER TABLE
The following are the characters recognised. The ones shown as 2 letter abbreviations cannot be translated to ASCII (except for the control
characters, which do have an ASCII equivalent).
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f Notes
00 OV TA LF CR OV=overstrike
10 TA=tab
20 LF=linefeed
30 CR=carr-return
40 SP CT . < ( + ! SP=space
50 & ] $ * ) ; NO CT=cents
60 - / XO | , % _ > ? NO=not-sign
70 : # @ ' = " XO=XOR(1)
80 a b c d e f g h i
90 j k l m n o p q r { [
a0 ~ s t u v w x y z RE RE=registered

f0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 DE DE=delete(1) The symbol for the INTECAL XOR operator, "V overstrike -".
