John,
You could write a simple Java program to convert from UTF-16LE to
IBM-1047/IBM-037.
Java supports UTF-16 encoding as its native encoding for characters, but
uses a BOM to determine endian, whereas UTF-16LE does not.
Not missing an opportunity to post *you* some code, here's some Java that
should work ;-)

If you wanted to go to a dataset, you could use the JZOS ZFile class;
otherwise you could run your program on either Windows or z/OS and FTP the
file in binary.

Many thanks! I don't know if my boss will go for this or not. I just ordered
z/OS 1.10, which supposedly can handle UTF-16. Of course, that's going to
take a while to get in and installed.
I don't understand that comment above, "z/OS 1.10, which supposedly
can handle UTF-16". There is quite a bit of Unicode support in z/OS
before 1.10. What, specifically, do you find added that would help
you in this little adventure?
Kind regards,
