 Posted: Sat May 02, 2009 10:06 am Post subject: Transferring Hexadecimal Value to Windows |
 |
|
Hello,
I have a program which writes character and numeric (COMP-3) values to the output file. When we are transferring this file from mainframe to windows, we are loosing the numeric data(as this is in HEX Format).
Currently we are using IND$FILE (QUICK 3270 Emulator) to tranfer the file from mainframe to windows PC.
Can you please suggest a way how to avoid this data loss? |

normally, to avoid problems with transmission/conversion from ebcdic2ascii and the reverse, instead of COMP-3, make them simple signed display.
by the way, you are misusing the HEX format . there is no such format as HEX.

dbzTHEdinosauer,
Thanks for correcting me.
We cant convert this to the simple display. We are transferring this data to windows for only testing purposes.
Is there any way of doing it without changing the existing program? |

not really sure what this means. do you mean that after testing on the pc you will not be transmitting the file to the pc in production?
you could use sort to reformat (create zoned decimal from packed-decimal) the file.
That way you would not have to 'change your program'.
