Is there any java Charset for converting EBCDIC packed decimal to ASCII?

Pls reply if you know the solution.

This is not a function of a Charset, because of the packing. There are plenty of EBCDIC<->ASCII libraries out there.

Converting ASCII to EBCDIC and Packed Decimals as well

Hi All,
We have a requirement where data from a SAP system comes in ASCII format as a flat file.PI needs to encode 4 fields in the packed decimals and rest of the fields in EBCDIC format before sending to mainframe system.
When I use code page cp500 at the reciever file adapter level it encodes the entire file in EBCDIC format.
However we want those 4 fields to be in packed decimals while sending to mainframe system.
Could you please help me in figuring out a solution?
Thanks,

Long / double value convertion to Packed Decimal

Hi,
Could anybody tell me how to convert a long / double value to Packed Decimal (AS400) ?
Thanks,
Probir

Now I'm writing this value in a flat file by
FileOutputStream and sending to mainframe through FTP.
But the mainframe people said it's not converted into
packed decimal. Is it the right way to convert ??When you say "mainframe" I assume you are referring to a machine that uses EBCDIC. Java, even on the iSeries, uses Unicode and not EBCDIC, so when you FTP anything to the mainframe it will go through an ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion. You want this to happen for text but you don't want it to happen for packed decimals; your carefully-constructed x'12' x'3f' bytes will be dutifully converted into EBCDIC garbage.
FTP of an iSeries file (in the QSYS.LIB file system) to a mainframe is trivial because both client and server use EBCDIC, so there are no conversion issues. So if you could do it that way, you definitely should. Otherwise you are going to have to take your packed decimal data and replace it by the bytes that would be translated into it if it were in EBCDIC. The translation table QEBCDIC in library QSYS shows you how it does that, so use that table. You can look it with the command WRKTBL QSYS/QEBCDIC. You'll notice for example that x'09' in ASCII gets converted to x'05' in EBCDIC. So if you want to get x'05' into part of a packed decimal field on the mainframe, you have to send it x'09'. And so on. Like I said, I would recommend doing something other than this. Ask the mainframe people to not make you used packed decimal, for example.

Conversion of Packed Decimal Numbers to Java Data Types

Hi all,
I'm working with a mainframe file which contains datas in Packed Decimal Numbers.My requirement is to convert these datas to Java datatypes and also to convert the Java datatypes to Packed Decimal Numbers before storing them in the mainframe.
Can anyone help me out with any code for converting Java data types to/from other data formats such as: EBCDIC, IBM370 COMP (binary numbers up to 9 digits), and COMP-16 (packed decimal numbers)?
I would hugely appreciate any response to my query.
Thanking you all,
Kaushik.

Rather than go that route, I'd instead look into providing a "service" on your mainframe to:
1) provide a textual representation of the numbers (from native to text)
2) read text, converting to native numeric storage
And use that service to retrieve that information by your Java app (1)Similarly, instead of trying to write natively-formatted numbers from your Java app, I'd write it as text and make that same "service" read the text (2)
This is the kind of thing XML is for.

Data flow fails on packed decimal field moving iSeries DB2 data from one iSeries DB to another

I' trying to use SSIS to move table content from one iSeries DB2 database to another. I'm using the .Net providers for OleDb\IBM DB2 for i5/OS IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider in the connection managers for the source and destination and the test connection
works fine. When I try to run the data flow task however it fails on the first packed decimal field it encounters with the exceptions ...
[select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr" (16)" failed because error code 0x80004002 occurred, and the error

...in the progress tab. Can someone kindly tell me what I need to do to get the connection manager to work with DB2 packed decimal fields? Or is it a different issue all together? Thanks tonnes for any help, Roscoe

Hi rpfinn,
From the Data Types mapping rules between SSIS and DB2, we can see that both the NUMERIC and DECIMAL data types in DB2 are mapped to DT_NUMBERIC data type in SSIS. Now that the source data in your DB2 database is NUMERIC data type, changing the DT_NUMBRIC
data type to DT_DECIMAL is invalid. Besides, if we check the data types of the target External column and Output column from the Advanced Editor for ADO NET Source adapter, the data type should be defined as DT_NUMERIC with Precision as 9 and Scale as 2. I
am not clear where you see the DT_NUMBERIC(9,0) e.g. DT_NUMERIC with Precision as 9 and Scale as 0, but it may be the cause of the issue. You need to make sure the DT_NUMERIC data type also has Scale 2 instead of 0.
If you don’t know how to modify the data type, please elaborate the Data Flow Task of the package so that we can make further analysis. Besides, the error messages you posted are incomplete, it will be helpful if you post the complete error message.

How to move the value from a character field to numeric or packed decimal

Hi,
can anyone explain me on how to move the value from a character field to numeric or packed decimal.
Please help me on this. Thanks...
Regards,
Rose.

Hi ,
if you use keyword MOVE u may loose the decimal and thoussan separator and if u don't want to loose them just call the FM ..HRCM_STRING_AMOUNT_CONVERT.
i doubt wherther it is HRCM or HCRM just try using *
this will suit ur requirement.

Convert Mainframe Packed Decimal to Oralce Number Format

Dear all,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into Oracle Number datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Firstly thanks for your reply.
Actually I am not using SQL Loader to load data from
a flat file to Oracle table. I am writing a custom
program that reads the file and populates the oracle
table. I'll put aside the question of 'why' you'd want to do that. SQL*Loader's singular purpose in life is to load flat files of data into Oracle DB. Sometimes there is a reason for reinventing the wheel.
How does your program communicate with the Oracle DB? If utilizing ESQL and Pro*Cobol (or Pro*<whatever> ) you will have read the data into a variable of some type in you host language. The variable of the host variable to hold the value (if you did a 'select from' that table) would be the correct target type for an insert statement. Whatever host language type conversion is available bewteen those two types ( if they are different at all ) is all that is needed. The precompilers have converters between certain native host and internal Oracle types built-in. It is how you get any data between the two systems. This is only a problem if the host language has no converter between the numeric types (if differnet.). When you read from the flat file are you reading it into a native packed decimal in the host language?
ODBC/JDBC similar strategy..... cast conversion between the native type that Oracle wants and the one into which your custom program reads it into.
So I want to know whether there are any Oracle
utility programs that will convert the packed decimal
to a oracle number format or not.There are Oracle routines that convert into the native Oracle DB formats. There are implicitly available through the normally utilized interfaces to OCI ( ESQL and ODBC/JDBC ) . There are none decoupled from those interfaces though (that I know of).
There are no standalone programs that mutate a flat file into another flat file that then could be loaded. That's is typically slower and utilzes more space than most customers want than just directly inputing the data into Oracle DB.

Can we move char type data to packed decimal

Hi
can we move char type data to packed decimal??
Thanks
Devi

Hi..
that depends on the data in the character variable..
if that character variable contains onli numbers then it is possible.
data c type c value '1'.
data p type p.
p = c.
write p.
here the output is 1.
If it contains even a single Alphabet , then it goes for a dump.
data c type c value 'A'.
data p type p.
p = c.
write p.
here u will get a short dump.
hope u understood.

ASCII to EBCDIC converter

Hello everybody!
I'm looking for a function module which converts ASCII text to EBCDIC. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about this so far. It would be great if somebody could give me some information about.
Thankyou!
Best regards,
Markus

Hi Marcus,
You don't need a Function Module; there is a ready ABAP command 'EBCDIC(x)' available.
You will find more information here: [Converting ASCII to EBCDIC and vice-versa|http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/htmhelp/5e/0a41edba9d11d2a97100a0c9449261/frameset.htm]
Also, check this link : [Standard include for converting ASCII / EBCDIC|http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-dev/converting-data-from-ascii-to-ebcdic-in-unicode-environment-420663]
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need anything else!!

Isao,
You can convert arbitrary binary data
using MemoryStream, ReadBinary(), pointers
and casting to convert simple binary types to the
type you require. Here is a partial code fragment
from some binary communications code we wrote
to give you the idea. Although it looks like
'C' in places it really is valid TOOL code.
buf : MemoryStream = new;
theHeader : MemoryStream = new;
theData : MemoryStream = new ;
tempData : BinaryData = new ;
countBytes : integer = 0 ;
tempcountBytes : integer = 0 ;
ConnId : ui2 = 0 ;
magicNumber : ui4 = 0x5aa50ff0 ;
p : pointer = nil;
buf.Open(accessMode = SP_AM_READ_WRITE);
theHeader.Open(accessMode = SP_AM_READ_WRITE);
// Read the header
theHeader.Flush() ;
theHeader.Seek( position = SP_RP_START ) ;
countBytes = 0 ;
// Parse theHeader here
theHeader.Seek( position = SP_RP_START ) ;
theHeader.ReadBinary( target = tempData, length = 4 ) ;
p = (pointer)(tempData.Value) ;
PacketLength = *(pointer to ui4)(p) ;
theHeader.ReadBinary( target = tempData, length = 1 ) ;
p = (pointer)(tempData.Value) ;
PacketType = *(pointer to ui1)(p) ;
theHeader.ReadBinary( target = tempData, length = 2 ) ;
p = (pointer)(tempData.Value) ;
PacketSeqNo = *(pointer to ui2)(p) ;
theHeader.ReadBinary( target = tempData, length = 2 ) ;
p = (pointer)(tempData.Value) ;
ConnId = *(pointer to ui2)(p) ;
theHeader.ReadBinary( target = tempData, length = 4 ) ;
p = (pointer)(tempData.Value) ;
magicNumber = *(pointer to ui4)(p) ;
if( magicNumber != 0x5aa50ff0 ) then
buf.Close() ;
theHeader.Close() ;
return FALSE ;
end if ;

Hi! Everyday I read some useful tips from this mailing-list.
I am trying conversion ascii-to-EBCDIC conversion.
I want to read binary-file, because EBCDIC code data come by floppy-disk.
But I can't read this file into TextData object.
(TextData Class have method to access by byte.)
I know that I can read binary-data into BinaryData object.
if I can access BinaryData class by byte or read binarydata into textdata.
Does anyone have good idea for this question?
thanks.

Parsing a packed decimal value

I am doing an extraction of BKPF and my ETL process is failing because the data which is being returned via RFC_READ_TABLE for KURS2 is '0.1234-'
When I go in to SE16 and look at that record, the displayed field value (based on localisation to F) is: '/0,1234'.
KURS2 has a datatype of P. Its values also should be always unsigned (since a negative currency conversion rate doesn't make any sense). Are signed values in P fields which come out of RFC_READ_TABLE have the - sign at the end (like a BCD?) or is it returning that because the RFC is misparsing the '/' in the actual field? And why would the UI allow someone to enter such a value? (I understand that it looks like whoever entered it wanted something to divide WRBT* by KURS2 to get DMBT2 or whatever, but that seems strange to me).

How do you store the "PACKED DECIMAL" in Oracle?
Do you use one of the following data types:
NUMBER(n,n)
DECIMAL(n,n)?
or
is it mainframe data that is represented in PACKED DECIMAL format that you've loaded into Oracle via SQL Loader.
