Processing mainframe files with Signed and Comp fields

[horserider]

I see lots of threads on CFF stage issue, COMP, Signed fields issues when reading file from mainframe file using FTP or Enterprise FTP plugin stage.

Does any has a proper documentation either personal or from IBM, as to how the job should be designed in parallel to handle COMP and Signed Integers?

I have been struggling with converting COMP and Signed fields from mainframe files and couldn't find any thread that specifies any standard practice to address this OR may be I couldn't find one (even if it's here).

Any help will greatly be appreciated.

There are some examples in IBM's class DataStage Essentials (Server Edition) about how to use the SDK routines to "translate" such data into character numeric (= human readable) form.

Is there any information as how to deal the same issue in PARALLEL JOB?

None of which I'm aware. However, if you study the SDK routines, you may get some clues as to the algorithms required in your own parallel routines.
