Well, this is my situation
I have a member in a Dataset with EBCDIC data,
I need to turn into ASCII data
Which round dealing??
Regards,
OK, Claudio, but there are still possibilities that
are not clear:
* If you need to have it in ascii to be viewed
on a workstation, just access it with any
3270 emulator; that's automatic
* You could then cut and paste from your emulator
window into a text editor on your workstation
and save it on your workstation; the version
on your workstation will be ascii
Of course, this is tedious for large files
* You could FTP from the mainframe to the workstation
as text; on your workstation it will be ascii; then
FTP back to the mainframe as binary, then it will
be ascii on your mainframe (hmmm, except for those
nasty line-ends most ascii machines seem to love)
* You could write a little program in Assembler, PL/I,
COBOL, or C and do the conversion yourself; not too
hard. What's your language of choice?
* You could use z/OS UNIX:
==> oput 'xxxx.yyyy.zzz(member)' '/u/yourid/member' binary
==> omvs
==> iconv -f ibm-1047 -t iso8859-1 member > member2
==> exit
==> oget '/u/yourid/member2' 'xxxx.yyyy.zzz(member)' binary
This presupposes 1) you have z/OS UNIX segment defined and
your home directory is /u/yourid
2) the file is encoded in ibm-1047
Note that there are multiple ebcdic code pages; do you know
which one is being used?
Finally, I'm still curious as to how the ascii version
is to be used. That might give us some clues as to how
best to do the conversion.

Hello,
How do I convert a member with data EBCDIC to ASCII in the TSO
environment?
thanks
Claudio
A bit more information, please. Are you meaning in ISPF edit? Or do you
mean a TSO command processor to do it? That is, some command such as:
E2A input.ebcdic.file output.ascii.file
?
In the latter case, you could possibly use the OCOPY command.
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZA580
OCOPY INDD(EBCDIC) OUTDD(ASCII) TEXT CONVERT(BPXFX311) FROM1047
This translates from EBCDIC code page 1047 (C language, UNIX) to ASCII
code page ISO8859-1.

Your parameters are inconsistent. You have OUTDD and INDD which are
DD-related, not DSN. Also, you specify DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE) but no
SPACE=
parameter, which would be required so you can provide
directory-blocks. I
would recommend pre-allocating the PDS with all required parameters,
and in
a second step use DISP=OLD with the member name specified in the DSN=
parameter. And, again, verify the proper syntax/specification of INDD(?)
and OUTDD(?).
