And then the C RTL will further translate it to the "native" EBCDIC.
Many ASCII-centric systems treat UTF-8 as practically standard.
(But the filenames contain nonportable characters.)  Does the
caller pass you ASCII, presumed ISO8859-1, UTF-8, or other?
Will the files be shared (NFS?) or exported (pax?) to native ASCII
systems?

z/OS C, or Dignus?  Hmmm... can Dignus programs interface to
LE services for this sort of translation?
