Moving data from mainframe to *nix boxes
Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:09 am
Hello,
I need some help in moving data which contains packed decimal data(not the only content in it). I need to preserve the EBCDIC code so that the content doesn't go unreadable/lose alignment while receiving at the *nix end. I've tried using the iconv command. The source is an MVS dataset that I copied to OMVS using OCOPY. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks!

iconv -f ibm-1047 -t iso8859-1 filename > filename1
Thanks!
