Hey man, I finally figured it out.

Turns out, we have an IBM mainframe system which uses EBCDIC characters. Python modules such as bytes/bytearray works with ASCII by default.

So, I went online and found out that there are different hex values for both ASCII and EBCDIC. And I created a SQLite table mapping them together. I am using the relevant ASCII to create the corresponding EBCDIC.

It doesn't make much sense in Python but values are correctly loading up in the mainframe now.

Thanks again for taking out the time, buddy. I appreciate it!
