Knowing that, then here's the series of commands I recommend you issue, starting at ISPF 6: == oput 'BRASIL.ZOS.CONTEST.JCL(DATA1)' '/data1' binary == omvs(you are put into UNIX) == iconv -f ibm-1047 -t iso8859-1 data1 data2 == exit (you leave UNIX, return to ISPF 6) == oget '/data1' 'BRASIL.ZOS.CONTEST.JCL(DATA1)' binary Since your advice is to do the conversion from the UNIX shell, why not do everything from there? A lot less troubles to be expected. What will likely be the next error reported by Claudio? I bet it'll be: iconv: FSUM6180 file data1: EDC5129I No such file or directory. Why? He posted: ...

It may be you are not set up to run under UNIX, however; if not you need to have your systems programmer add an omvs segment to your security profile (RACF, ACF2, Top Secret, any other). This is where you specify the home directory (and some other attributues). If you are not set up to run under UNIX, the omvs command will fail. the exit command leaves UNIX and returns to yout ISPF 6 command line to enter the oget command.

As far as knowing what code page is used for a file, there really is no magic way. The default code page for z/OS is ibm-037, the default code page for the unix shell is ibm-1047. But these can be changed by systems people. In most cases, the various EBCDIC code pages are the same; it's only some special characters and some language-specific characters that have varying code points. If your member only contains English alphabetic characters, numeric digits, and a few special characters, almost any of the EBCDIC code pages will work in the iconv command.

In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 09/19/2008 at 08:27 PM, Claudio Marcio [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: How do I convert a member with data EBCDIC to ASCII in the TSO environment? You almost certainly don't want to convert to ASCII, but rather to some code page that matches ASCII for code points 40-FE. Your first step is to determine which code pages are appropriate for your application. Note that there are multiple EBCDIC code pages, so you need to determine both the appropriate input page and the appropriate output page. There are several different conventions for ending lines. You need to determine whether you need conversion between two of End of logical record EBCDIC NL CRLF LF Read up on iconv.

This is where you specify the home directory (and some other attributues). If you are not set up to run under UNIX, the omvs command will fail. the exit command leaves UNIX and returns to yout ISPF 6 command line to enter the oget command. I have tested this series of commands, and it does what you want, assuming the various parts for you running under UNIX are in place. As far as knowing what code page is used for a file, there really is no magic way. The default code page for z/OS is ibm-037, the default code page for the unix shell is ibm-1047. But these can be changed by systems people. In most cases, the various EBCDIC code pages are the same; it's only some special characters and some language-specific characters that have varying code points. If your member only contains English alphabetic characters, numeric digits, and a few special characters, almost any of the EBCDIC code pages will work in the iconv command. The page http://www.tachyonsoft.com/cpindex.htm contains a list of ibm code pages; I notice that 1bm-037 (the first in the list) includes Brazil; but so also does ibm-275. You could bring both pages up in separate browser windows and compare these; for points where characters are different, look at your data to see if any of those characters are different. Kinda' tedious, but doable. As an alternative, ask your systems programmers. Finally, just try it. Try it once with ibm-037 and once with ibm-275, even once with ibm-1047; use SuperC to compare the results

Hello,
How do I convert a member with data EBCDIC to ASCII in the TSO environment?
You'll find lots of different ways in the archives. Via JCL, FTP, using
z/OS UNIX, just to name a few. The best methods use the ICONV()
service. I have been using this C++ utility:

One option is to invoke FTP back to the localhost and perform a PUT command converting the local file to a new-named file, after issuing the ASCII command.
