Raymond EBCDIC is the format few mainframe computer uses. Unix systems typically uses ASCII. I am not sure about the type of the file, but you may have to convert the file from EBCDIC to ASCII to make any meaning ful use of the file. You could use dd command for this conversion.. dd if=input file of=outfile conv=ascii bs=128k Thanks Riyaj Re-yas Shamsudeen Certified Oracle DBA i2 technologies www.i2.com Raymond Lee Meng Hong [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/15/01 09:40 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L To:Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject:the conversion is from Mainframe flat file to Unix Flat file - b what is EBCDIC format I have a customer from IBM DB2 mainframe going to pass data to my oracle system for matching of record ,what they told me is the tape is in EBCDIC format ?
