Can ICONV work with MVS datasets

Answer

Hello, we have a problem with currently using AOPBATCH where it is
truncating a file. We've been told we might be able to use BPXBATCH
under our z/os mainframe in unix system.

Assistance is needed with both the BPXBATCH and the iconv facility.

IBM Response:

The OMVS iconv command needs to work with OMVS files - not MVS datasets
I'm afraid.
You can move the input MVS dataset to a OMVS file and then use BPXBATCH
to run a command like
// PARM='/iconv -f IBM-037 -t UTF-8 /path/to/input > /path/to/output'
You can then move the OMVS output file to an MVS dataset.
In BPXBATCH, the //STDIN DD must point to an OMVS path.
BPXBATCH is described in the USS Commands and Reference in section

The iconv command is in that same manual at
