  I don't understand.  What is wrong with a simple loop replacing
c with EBCDIC[c] for each char c in the string of unsigned chars.
Something like:
	while(*p) { *p = EBCDIC[*p]; p++;}

 You do need to initialize your table.  Pick up the tables used on the
3090 and use those.  If you don't like that choice build your own in
the grand tradition of mutual inconsistency which currently exists in
the ASCII <-> EBCDIC translation world.
