I think that depends on where fileport resides. We use fileport on our solaris system to convert mainframe data (ebcdic) to Unix data (ascii). It works well but you need to have a copy statement to direct fileport how to convert each field. We use it on a daily basis but also used to to convert 2 terrabytes of mainframe data to unix data as part of our migration to unix. Also jcl in mainframe can convert ebcdic to ascii. The real problem comes in when the mainframe data has mixed data types (comp-3, comp, etc)

The documentation does not say if the data need to FTPed first and then run FilePort. However, it does say that Fileport can process data piped from FTP. That also tells me it needs to be FTPed first. The problem is that if the data is first FTPed and then FilePort converts, it will takes longer time and additional spaces for that job to run. ----------------------------------------- This message and its attachments may contain privileged and confidential information.
