Joan, Do you FTP the data first and put it on a TEMP area, and then run
FilePort. Where FilePort read from the TEMP and converts to OUTPUT area.

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)

Subject: FilePort from SynCsort
Does any know how FilePort works on Linux/UNIX. 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.
