Hello, I need to write a 'simple' util to convert from ASCII to EBCDIC? The Ascii is coming from Java, Web and going to an AS400. I've had a google around, can't seem to find a easy solution (maybe coz there isn't one :( ). I was hoping for an opensource util or paid for util that has already been written. Like this maybe? Con...
Hi all, what I want to do is to be able to mount via sshfs some files on the mainframe via USS on my local PC. I can do that but sshfs doesnt do straight off the conversion from EBCDIC to ascii/unicode. Is there any flags that i can set. Alternativly, does anybody know of a library that does EBCDIC to ASCII conversions so i can add to...
I working with some EBCDIC data that I need to parse and find some Hex values. The problem that I'm having is that it appears that I'm reading the file in with the incorrect encoding. I can see that my record begins with "!" (which is a x5A in EBCDIC) but when doing the conversion to hex it returns as a x21, which is the ASCII value for ...
Hello, Our requirement is to send EBCDIC text to mainframe. We have some chinese characters thus UTF8 format. So, is there a way to convert the UTF-8 characters to EBCDIC? Thanks, Raj Mohan ...
I have to convert a number of large files (up to 2GB) of EBCDIC 500 encoded files to Latin-1. Since I could only find EBCDIC to ASCII converters (dd, recode) and the files contain some additional proprietary character codes, I thought I'd write my own converter. I have the character mapping so I'm interested in the technical aspects. ...
I'm getting files transferred from an AS/400 to our Windows (SBS 2003) via FTP. The files are fixed-width data. The text appears fine, but some of the fields are packed decimals, which when unpacked give bad values. My assumption is that there's an implicit EBCDIC->ASCII conversion happening, which is converting the packed bytes too. ...
I have a file that was converted from EBCDIC to ASCII. Where there used to be new lines there are now characters that show up as <85> (a symbol representing a single character, not the four characters it appears to be) and the whole file is on one line. I want to search for them and replace them all with new lines again, but I don't know...
I am using Jon Skeet's EBCDIC implementation in .NET to read a VSAM file downloaded in binary mode with FTP from a mainframe system. It works very well for reading/writing in this encoding, but it does not have anything to read packed-decimal values. My file contains these, and I need to unpack them (at the cost of more bytes, obviousl...
We're using Subversion version control and we need to save there files with IBM iSeries encoding (EBCDIC). What is the best way to do it? ...
I need to create an EBCDIC string within my javascript and save it into an EBCDIC database. A process on the EBCDIC system then uses the data. I haven't had any problems until I came across the character '¬'. In EBCDIC it is hex value of 5F. All of the usual letters and symbols seem to automagically convert with no problem. Any idea ...
I have a value in EBCDIC format "000000{". I want to convert it into a.Net Int32 type. Can anyone let me know what I can do about it?? So my question is given a string that contains a signed numeric in EBCDIC , what should I be doing to convert it into a .NET Int32. Thanks so much in advance! ...
What is the simplest way to convert HEX value to ebcdic char type in Java e.g. The example below will return at sign but I would like to get ebcidic equivalent i.e. space char.. String hex = "40"; char c = (char) Integer.parseInt(hex, 16); ...
