What are the differencesbetween ASCII and EBCDIC?
Please don't provide wiki links. I can get them myself!
Technical comparison between ASCII and EBCDIC http://www.dynamoo.com/technic al/ascii-ebcdic.htm
Why will the ASCII and EBCDICcodes likely be inadequate tohandle computing in thefuture?
I believe most of the concerns surround language and symbol support. The original standards were very English language focused.
How can I ftp an EBCDIC filefrom the mainframe to Unixwithout inserting CR-LF ateach end of line?
I am in the middle of a migration from our mainframe. We currently use CA's TCPAccess product for ftp and telnet. To cut costs I want to eliminate TCPAccess and use IBM's TCPIP stack. I have "snake files" on the mainframe that look like 80 byte records but are in reality one big record that spans multiple 80-byte records. When I ftp using FTP2 under TCPAccess, the file is present to Unix as one big record. When I ftp using IBM's product, it inserts a CR-LF at the end of each 80-byte record. I had used an XLATE table in CA's product to eliminate the CR-LF but cannot find a way to eliminate them under IBM. BTW, I am running z/OS 1.4 and cannot upgrade the OS to 1.7 or 1.8 due to HW constraints so I am stuck with an unsupported OS. I am dumping redundant SW to save $ thru the end of the project.
I have done this in the past with my company when we were pulling B2B data from a vendor. Please contact me as I am attempting to contact the PM who actually did the coding around the FTP script. If I remember right, we needed to QUOTE SITE a command to the mainframe box to specifically tell that system how to transfer the file in terms of record length and record termination. Again, contact me and I will get the info.
