I am having a problem with using the 'dd' command on an EDCDIC file.

The conversion looks fine except that at the end of each record is a 
funny 'Z' (once it is converted, this character may have been added by the
mainframe or on copying the file to the SUn machine ?).

I would like to process this file and drop the last character before running
it through the 'dd' command.  My question is, what command can i use that
will allow me to drop the last byte in a record?

many thanks
Joan
