Hi,
I tried looking through the forum to see if I can find something on this conversion, but I guess my issue is a bit extended than what has already been discussed on the conversion

I am looking to convert ASCII based files into EBCDIC files. Also, the integer / decimal fields in ASCII needs to be converted to Packed Decimal (COMP-3) fields in the EBCDIC file..

Any ideas?

Thanks
Prakash

Hi Prakash

I'm going to suggest you look at VEdit and Greenview Data.
www.vedit.com
&
http://greenviewdata.com/ebcdic

I know the iSeries (now System i) and some commands you can use.
/*============================================*
CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('HOME/MYDIRECTORY/DATA.TXT')
TOMBR('LIBARARY/DATAFILE') MBROPT(*REPLACE)
/*============================================*

but my favorite is
/*============================================*
CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('/HOME/IFSdirectory/yourdata') TOFILE(yourDataLib/yourDataFile) RCDDLM(*CRLF) STRDLM('"') FLDDLM(*TAB)
/*============================================*

If I can, I use Excel to clean up the data a bit, that's why you see the
Tab character, I used it as a field delimeter, not a comma.

Hope this helps
