I'm trying to find a better way to access an MVS EBCDIC fixed block sequential dataset via NFS from SLES10 SP4 z/Linux.
The problem is two-fold: 1) The file needs to be converted to ASCII. I can use "iconv" to solve the EBCDIC to ASCII translation, but I was hoping that someone might know how to do this via NFS. 2) The MVS format is FB, LRECL=80 so there is no line feed character and the whole file ends up on a single line. Other than writing a script to parse the file, is there a way to have NFS recognize it's attributes?
