I haven't paid much attention to this discussion, but perhaps this
might help. Vim can edit gzipped files. To do that, it decompresses
the file, it lets you edit it, and compresses it back. Perhaps you can
do the same with encoding instead of compression.
For encoding conversion, you might look at umap(1) from Perl's
Unicode::Map8. It seems to know about a few EBCDIC encodings, maybe one
of them is suitable for your files.
