EBCDIC ! and ] not translated properly
Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:49 am
STEP (1) Downloading the Mainframe File as Binary.
STEP (2) Reading downloaded file through CFF Stage.
This is working perfectly fine for all chanracters except ! and ] characters in mainframe. When I compare the data between mainframe data and final processed data in UNIX
Character ! in mainframe is converted to ] in ASCII (UNIX Env)
Character ] in mainframe is converted to ' ' (blank) in ASCII (UNIX Env)
I know that we can use some forced conversion like reading the SEQ() for ! and ] when reading data in Step 2 and then changing back to ! and ] in ASCII, but question is
"When all other characters are converted proplerly using the same 2 steps, wny not EBCDIC ! and ] characters? Is there any documentation for this issue?
