Reading a EBCIDIC file from UNIX command line ?

n_suresh_82 · Post by **n_suresh_82** » Mon May 23, 2011 5:22 am

Is there any Data stage command line utility to read the EBCIDIC file from UNIX command line using command line utilities like orcadmin with the help of schema files?

For e.g. in AB Initio, we can view the data in the COBOL file with the help of metadat i.e.. DML and the source file (from the UNIX command line)

Why necessarily "from command line"? You can use the Sequential File stage.

The UNIX command is dd. It will convert to ascii if you want.
