Install DataStage with NLS enabled.

You can then set the MAP that you read your data (i.e. UTF)
and you can set the MAP to use to write the data. (i.e. EBCDIC)

The sequential file stage also has some special options for reading EBCDIC data.

Please suggest if you can overcome with that problem using NLS. please mail me if you any examples.

You see a "?" normally due to a mapping/locale mismatch. I suggest you read the DataStage NLS guide and check the maps and locales that you are using against those you expect in your datafile.
