Reg Unicode-Ebcdic Conversion

Question

can anyone Suggest the Way of Converting
unicode char set to Ebcdic & vice versa.. too..
conversion shld happen within java

Answer 1

I am working on this myself, here is what I have come up with but it is still in testing. I am mainly unsure what dangers there are in the cast convesrionsfrom (ints to chars / chars to ints)
public class EBCDICtoASCIIConverter {
     /** ASCII <=> EBCDIC conversion functions */
