I download files to our Z/VM system in binary. The files on the windows
ftp server are in ascii.
Then I run a PIPE to deblock the file and convert to ebcidic.
Here is a snippet:
address command "PIPE ( endchar ? ) " ,
"<" !workfile " | " ,
" deblock linend 0a | " ,
" strip both 0d 1 | " ,
" xlate from 819 to 1047 | " ,
" change x00 / / | " ,
" strip trailing | " ,
This works fine when the records are delimited by '0d0a' or '0a'.
Last night I received a file whose records are delimited by '0d'. Things
broke because the file wasn't deblocked properly.
I am having a hard time visualizing how to cope with records delimited
by '0d' and not mess up what I already have.
Advice??
