Convert String from ASCII to EBCDIC in Java?

Question

I need to write a \'simple\' util to convert from ASCII to EBCDIC?

The Ascii is coming from Java, Web and going to an AS400. I\'ve had a google around, can\'t seem

This is what I've been using.

public static final int[] ebc2asc = new int[256];
public static final int[] asc2ebc = new int[256];

static
{
  byte[] values = new byte[256];
  for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    values[i] = (byte) i;

  try
  {
    String s = new String (values, "CP1047");
    char[] chars = s.toCharArray ();
    for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    {
      int val = chars[i];
      ebc2asc[i] = val;
      asc2ebc[val] = i;
    }
  }
  catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
  {
    e.printStackTrace ();
  }
}
