Thanks for the information. How does your mainframe guy
get the data out of IMS?
Thanks,

We do not pull data directly from IMS but load it in batch jobs. Our
mainframe guy either dumps the data report-style (ASCII) or copies records
in native EBCDIC to files on the mainframe. We ftp
Thanks for the help. How did you create the flat files?
How did you get the data out of IMS and into the flat
files? TCP/IP or SQL Loader or what?

I did it by creating flat files containing only character data (no packed
fields),
and using sqlloader to load the data.

Could you go into more detail on how one exports data
from IMS on the mainframe to flat textfiles?

Alternatively if on Unix the dd utility will
do the conversion for you.
HTH YMMV!
