Are you saying that file.text is empty? If so, file.txt>file.txt.converted 
should not be empty.

Theoretically you should get the same results with these two commands:

    conv -f IBM-420 -t IBM-1047  file.txt >file.txt.converted
    conv -f IBM-420 -t IBM-1047 <file.txt >file.txt.converted

Subject: Re: XMITIP - NLS support for Arabic character

Hello Paul

I used this command from OMVS

iconv -f IBM-420 -t IBM-1047 file.txt>file.txt.converted

I see the converted file is empty, Should I have file.txt populated with
ARABIC codes in it ?
