In my book Language automation worldwide: the development of character
set
standards (Harrogate: SESAME Computer Projects, 1998; GBP35), there is a
description of EBCDIC developments, amongst many other descriptions
of character set standards and scripts.
Anybody who needs a copy can contact me for details.
Best wishes
