EBCDIC data transfer to DB2 UDB ASCII

Postby atcs_user » Fri Sep 22, 2017 5:37 pm

Hi All,

I need support to load a text file that is downloaded from Mainframe. This text file needs to be uploaded to DB2 UDB 9.7 version ASCII codepage. I have some data in text file that is stored in Comp-3 format. Comp-3 is not recognisable in ASCII. So system is rejecting it.

I am attaching the data template, data DDL, and data file for your reference.

any help will be appreciated a lot.

thanks
Roop

then You do not have a <text> file
the general consensus is that a text file is human readable char by char

You will have to convert Your data to a TRUE text file

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

You will have to convert Your data to a TRUE text file

and do this on the mainframe before downloading your data set.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
