ArndW,
Thank you for your response.
I understand how I can use your routine from Job Control and open up a file and convert strings at specified offsets.
However, I think your proposed solution was suggesting that this routine be called from a transformer. Since you proposed a BASIC routine, were you suggesting I call these from the BASIC transformer in an SMP environment?
Also, would I not have to do something to prevent DataStage from already performing it's default translation when the Sequential File/CFF is used to parse the file? I guess I would have to set the PIC X fields on my CFF to some other datatype to prevent any translation before the BASIC transformer.
