If you are copying single-byte data into or out of the z/OS UNIX file system, you can use one of these:

• Working in MVS™, you can use the z/OS XL C/C++ iconv utility to convert MVS data from one code page to another. For information about the z/OS XL C/C++ iconv utility, see the iconv command description in z/OS XL C/C++ Programming Guide.
• Working in the shell, you can use the iconv shell command to convert z/OS UNIX data from one code page to another. For information about the iconv shell command, see the iconv command description in z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference.
• The CONVERT operand on the OCOPY, OGET, OGETX, OPUT, and OPUTX commands provides these code page conversion choices for the data as you are copying:

  CONVERT((BPXFX111))

  Specifies a conversion table to convert between code pages IBM-037 and IBM-1047.

  CONVERT((BPXFX311))

  Specifies an ASCII-EBCDIC conversion table to convert between code pages ISO8859-1 and IBM-1047.

  CONVERT(YES)

  Specifies the default conversion table BPXFX000, which is an alias that points to BPXFX111, to convert the data.

  CONVERT(user-defined table)

  Specifies the name of a user-defined conversion table.

  In this list, the use of (( )) with no data set name indicates that you are specifying a member that is a module in the standard search order for MVS.
