CFF stage for reading EBCDIC file
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 6:12 am
Hi,
I am novice to CFF satge and EBCDIC files.I m trying to read EBCDIC file through CFF stage.
I set properties ,
Record Type= Fixed
Char Set=EBCDIC
Data Format = Binary
Byte Order = Native Indian
& then imported Pl/I definition. While viewing source data i am getting error, "error executing View Data command:##E IIS-DSEE-TOIX-00179 06:45:34(002) <Complex_Flat_File_1,0> Import error at record 1."
Error may be related to PL/I layout or data. Can any one give me pointers for below, that may help me debug CFF related issues.
1> How can we view EBCDIC files (like in Unix,textpad)? Can migrate it to ASCII format?
2> Any documentation for PL/I layout , i want to know more on PL/I data types.
3> Any documentation on multirecord EBCDIC files?
4> Anything more i should know for handling CFF stages apart from DS Help?
Other issue we facing,
We are trying to read multi-record format EBCDIC file, which again is failing. I guess Record-Id tab is causing issue. Do we need to specify "Record_type= this" and "Record_type=that" for 2 layouts?
I can't view EBCDIC file record_type data.
