I don't see any of that to be a problem. Until quite recently a mid-
western US state's criminal justice system used EBCDIC and the IBM 
protocol where the record lengths are specified in a known size hearer. 
When I wrote the interface it converted from ASCII to EBCDIC and vice 
versa on the fly. Lookup tables were necessary. I would hope all the data 
uses the same code page.

All this is business as usual when dealing with data. Again hopefully they 
have maintained uniformity over the decades and it is not the situation of 
the Obamacare roll-out that had to deal with many companies and agencies 
that march to their own drummer.
