How do you edit a Single-Record-type Binary Mainframe file in the RecordEditor using Cobol Copybook on a Windows or Linux PC. Note: This is an attempt to split a very broad question into a series of simpler Question and Answers. To Edit a File in the RecordEditor with a Cobol Copybook you must first load the copybook and then edit the file Loading the Cobol Copybook into the RecordEditor Select Record Layouts >>> Load Cobol Copybook menu options On the Cobol Load Screen enter the Cobol Copybook and your Mainframe Data file . The RecordEditor will read the file and try and work out what the

How can we pass parameters in SQL query while executing IKJEFT01? Example: //UNLOAD EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * DSN SYSTEM(DB2X) RETRY(120) RUN PROGRAM(DSNTIAUL) PLAN(DSNTIAUL) - PARM('SQL') END //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=D //SYSREC00 DD DSN=FCSTN.AK.XXXXXX, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), //SYSPUNCH DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * SELECT * FROM ABC.DEF WHERE XYZ='999' /* Instead of giving value in sql query as '999' i want to pass the value through a variable. How this can be done? Plz help...! Have a separate step, prior to your UNLOAD step, that writes the

How can I convert a mainframe binary file (EBCDIC) having cobol copybook as record layout information to ASCII file by keeping in mind regarding the packed and zoned decimal format using any Java API or Open source tool? Reading in Java If you want to Read Mainframe Cobol Files in java, have a look at JRecord - You will have to specify the charset (font). For US EBCDIC use CP037. Legstar - Have variety of Mainframe - Cobol Tools CB2java - Has not been updated in a while (not supported any more and has problems) Also the RecordEditor will let you view / Edit Mainframe Cobol Files Conversion

I need to prepare some input data to run through a program, the data should be in the following format. UID (1-11)|TxtLen (12-16)| Text (17-62) I can use sort to position the fields properly and get the UID and text fields. The ‘TxtLen’ is should contain the number of chars from the start of the text field to the last char in the text field. i.e. “Hello”’s TxtLen is 5, “Hel lo”’s TxtLen is 6, “Hello World”’s TxtLen is 11, etc... I want to know if there is a way of getting the TxtLen through JCL only, or is a program required to do this? -Thanks You will need a program. I see a fair number of

I have files in Mainframe. I want these data to be pushed to Hadoop(HDFS)/HIVE. I can use Sqoop for the Mainframe DB2 database and import it to HIVE, but what about files (like COBOL , VASM etc.) Is there any custom flume source that I can write or some alternative tool to use here? COBOL is a programming language, not a file format. If what you need is to export files produced by COBOL programs, you can use the same technique as if those files were produced by C, C++, Java, Perl, PL/I, Rexx, etc. In general, you will have three different data sources: flat files, VSAM files, and a DBMS such

I'm making a C# program that will be able to dynamically read an IBM HOST Copybook written in COBOL and generate an SQL table off of it. Once the table is generated I can upload a file into my program and it will read, convert from IMB-37 and insert the file into that sql table. So far I can handle almost anything, although I'm running into some issues with REDEFINES. For example: 10 SOME-FIELD PIC 9(3) COMP-3. SCRRB205 4117 10 SOME-OTHER-FIELD REDEFINES 3041-17 4117 SOME-FIELD PIC X(2). 3041-17 I understand that the redefine takes the place of the field above it in this case, although what i
