Simples and most efficient solution would probably be to write up a lookup-table yourself, based on for instance http://www.natural-innovations.com/computing/asciiebcdic.html.

Other solutions can be found here.

To convert hex char to ebcdic (example: C1)

byte b[] = {(byte) Integer.parseInt("C1", 16)};
System.out.print(new String(b, "Cp037"));

The result will be A

This converted `0x60` to `-` and `0x6D` to `_`, though the reverse is true at some sites. – Shashwat May 16 '18 at 05:18
