FTPing COMP-3 data from mainframe to UNIX
|
|
|
| hi,
I am actually trying to ftp a PS file from mainframe to UNIX.
The contents of the PS file are data declared as S9(8) COMP-3 and
9(2).
When i ftp this file to UNIX in ASCII mode , i am able to read
the data declared as 9(2) as it
is but there is a erroneuos read as far as the COMP-3 data is
concerned.
When i ftp this file to UNIX in BINARY mode , i am able to read
the data declared as COMP-
3 as it is but there is a erroneuos read as far as the 9(2) data
is concerned.
The ftped data in UNIX is being read using a cobol program.
The cobol program is being compiled using the command "cob -iaPV
filename.cbl".
The cobol program is being run using the command "cobrun
filename.int".
The above commands are provided by microfocus.ie. the cobol
program is being executed
on a UNIX environment using MICRO FOCUS SERVER EXPRESS 4.0 SP2.
Pls let me know how i can read both the types of data
successfully.
