Display an ASCII vs EBCDIC Character Map

I loved Raul's suggestion of a character map in ReXX, but I'll post an RPG solution for the list to work on:

     h debug dftactgrp(*no) actgrp('QILE') bnddir('QC2LE')
      * dbgview(*list)
     d H2C             pr                  Extproc('cvthc')
     d  RecP                           *   value
     d  SrcP                           *   value
     d  SizeP                        10I 0 value
     d* Translate EBCDIC/ASCII
     d transChr        pr                  Extpgm('QDCXLATE')
     d  XLStrLen                      5p 0
     d  XLStr                              like(chrA)
     d  XLTable                      10a
     d ChrEP           s               *   inz
     d ChrXP           s               *   inz
     d chrX            s              2
     d chrA            s              1
     d Size            s             10i 0
     d E2ATable        s             10    Inz('QASCII')
     d outMsg          s             24
     d XLStrLen        s              5p 0
     d                 ds
     d chrE                    2      2
     d i                       1      2u 0
     c                   eval      ChrXP=%Addr(chrX)
     c                   eval      ChrEP=%Addr(chrE)
     c                   eval      Size=%len(chrX)
     c     64            do        255           i
     c                   callp     H2C(ChrXP :
     c                                 ChrEP :
     c                                 Size)
     c                   eval      chrA = chrE
     c                   eval      XLStrLen = %len(chrA)
     c                   callp     transChr(XLStrLen: ChrA: E2ATable)
     c                   eval      outMsg = %trim(%editc(i: 'Z')) + '-' +
     c                                      chrX + '-' +
     c                                      chrE + '-' +
     c                                      chrA
     c     outMsg        dsply     'BUCK'
     c                   enddo
     c                   eval      *InLR = *On

This uses the QASCII translate table.  Specific code page translation requires iconv(), I think.
