Something along the lines of
import java.nio.file._
val ebcdicBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("/whereEver/myEbcdicFile"))
val asciiBytes = new String(ebcdicBytes, "Cp1047").getBytes("ASCII")
might work.

Ok. The above code converts ebcdic to ascii using Scala (at least it should: I didn't bother testing it on any ebcdic-encoded files). Does it answer your question? If not: is anything unclear? I mean, it's like 2 lines, everything is built-in already... – Andrey Tyukin Feb 05 '18 at 22:19

Good. It looks like you should have enough material for an [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) by now. It would be nice if you could somehow provide an example of the file for which the problem occurs. – Andrey Tyukin Feb 05 '18 at 22:51
