You need to use strconv() twice. Don't have an example at hand, but here's the opposite:

		lcText=STRCONV(lcText, 1)
		lcText=STRCONV(lcText, 9, nCSVCodePage,1)

So do this in opposite order and with inverse functions of 1 and 9, whatever they are. Filetostr() before and strtofile() after and you should have the csv in your codepage.
