Porting lex scanner on EBCDIC machine.

I have a scanner developed using lex on a Unix machine (ASCII). It is a
front end for a processor that works on COBOL files. The files taken off a
mainframe are processed on the Unix machine and the modified files are
transferred back. To do away with this transfer business, I'm trying to
port the scanner onto the mainframe. However the mainframe uses EBCDIC
while lex generated tables, state machines etc. expect an ASCII input.


I'm sure this must be done all the time. Can someone give me any tips on how
to accomplish this ?


Thanx!
Veeru.
