File writing in EBCDIC format

Hi all,
Is it possible to write in EBCDIC format in a file?if so,
Pls provide me a sample code..

Haven't looked at it, but it's possible that
OutputStreamWriter supports EBCDIC
as in
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter( new OutputStreamWriter( new FileOutputStream( args[0] ), "EBCDIC" ));
or perhaps some other constant. It's also possible that it doesn't.
If not, you should examine the source code for OutputStreamWriter and write your own class that does what it does, only for EBCDIC. I don't recall that there's anyway to extend the built in OutputStreamWriter with new encodings, which seems like a silly thing for sun to have done, if that is the case.

Comparison of two files in EBCDIC format

Hi boarders..
I have a file which is there in ASCII format. I convert it to EBCDIC format using the below code
import java.io.*;
public class DcollType {
static String readInput() {
    StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
    try {
     FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("CLR812AX_TST5000.txt");
     InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis, "ASCII") ;
     Reader in = new BufferedReader(isr);
     int ch;
     while ((ch = in.read()) > -1) {
          buffer.append((char)ch);
     in.close();
     return buffer.toString();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
     return null;
static void writeOutput(String str) {
    try {
     FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("ascii.bin");;
     Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "Cp1047" );
     out.write(str);
     out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String[] args){
String inputstr=readInput();
writeOutput(inputstr);
Now once i produce this file, i need to compare this file, with another EBCDIC file.
This second EBCDIC file is got by converting the original ASCII file using Mainframe emulator tool.
I want the boarders help in wrting a code which will help me in comparing tw0 EBCDIC file's content byte by byte..

Eh? Just compare them. Since you're just comparing the bytes, you don't need a java.io.Reader; you just need a java.io.InputStream. (Or two, really.)
You've already shown you can handle this...just open two input streams, one for each file, and compare each byte, byte-by-byte. As soon as two bytes are not equal, you've shown that they're not the same. If you reach the end of both the files and all the bytes are the same, then they have identical contents (regardless of encoding).
Maybe you're being thrown by the encoding? It's really not relevant if you're just checking to see if the bytes are the same.

Writing files in UTF-8 format

Hi,
Our system is unicode enable and I want to write a file in UTF-8 format.
I'tried the following syntax.
OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
and OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING default
But when I check the file, it is in ANSI format. Is there a way we can force the system to write it in UTF-8 format?
Thanks,
Ramesh

However, I like to mention that the file created from out ECC 5.0 (6.40, non-Unicode) contains a special character between the XML header and the data part (when displayed using NotePad Editor):

Using a HexEditor the special character (0x0A) is displayed as a dot.
Also Check with FM - TREX_TEXT_TO_UTF8

How to covert EBCDIC format to ASCII in JMS Adapter??????????

Hi All,
I am developing one JMS to File scenario, in which JMS adapter will pick file which is in EBCDIC format from WebSphere MQ and send it to receiver file system by receiver file adapter. when i am trying this, i am getting file in EBCDIC format in receiver file system, but the file system is expecting data in ASCII format.
Is there any options to encode the EBCDIC format to ASCII in Sender JMS Adapter or Receiver File Adapter.
Thanks,
Madhusudhan.

Hi,
It was Basis / Database / OS staff that configured this aspect of the connection, and I am afraid I do not have any more details.
A Google search gave me the following from IBM Documentation on MQ Series:
<a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/ucli_pqcfm.html">http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/ucli_pqcfm.html</a>
<b>MQSeries queue connection factory settings for application clients</b>
CCSID
The coded character set identifier for use with the WebSphere MQ queue manager.
This coded character set identifier (CCSID) must be one of the CCSIDs supported by WebSphere MQ.
Data type String
For more information about supported CCSIDs, and about converting between message data from one coded character set to another, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration and the WebSphere MQ Application Programming Reference books. These are available from the WebSphere MQ messaging multiplatform and platform-specific books Web pages; for example, at <a href="http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/platspecific.html">http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/platspecific.html</a> , the IBM Publications Center , or from the WebSphere MQ collection kit, SK2T-0730.
hope this may be of some help

Import a shape file to oracle spatial format within an oracle pl/sql proced

hi,
My task is to import an esri sde shape file to oracle sdo format within pl/sql procedure.
i am using oracle 10g, arcgis 9 and arcsdo, geometry type is line, please anyone could help how can i achieve this task, would be very thankful
Best Regards,

There are no "in database" tools around that do this AFAIK. Most/all tools are external to the database and have to be invoked externally.
If you created an external "batch file" that did the right processing, you would still have to work out how to execute this batch file from within Oracle. AFAIK the standard method is to use create custom code that uses DBMS_PIPE to communicate with the operating system to execute the batch file. DBAs hate this approach and it does require programming.
The other method could be to write a trivial piece of Java that when passed the full path to the batch file executes the file. You would then load the compiled Java class into the Oracle JVM and then create a simple PL/SQL wrapper around it. I can't do it at the moment, but can come back with the code and instructions later on in the week.
<SHAMELESS PLUG>
As an aside (it seems appropriate to mention this now), I have been developing tools that do run inside the Oracle JVM an can export Oracle data (including sdo_geometry) to a number of formats:
* xSV (ie comma separated, tab separated, any other single character)
* Excel Spreadsheet
* ESRI Shapefile (including the writing of the PRJ file using a user supplied PRJ string and also I write a MapInfo TAB file to "wrap" the shapefile).
When exporting to xSV or Excel Spreadsheet one can chose to encode the SDO_GEOMETRY data as GML or WKT.
(I am working on a KML exporter as well.)
However, note that these tools EXPORT data and do not IMPORT data.
The tools, currently are running in production at a customer site (tabbed shapefile export option) and work well. Export jobs are defined and given to the Oracle JOB or SCHEDULER and correctly run at the appropriate time writing the data to an operating system directory defined internally (with appropriate permissions) as an Oracle Directory object.
I am now considering selling the exporter tool and am looking for testers. (The pricing of these tools will be exceedingly low.)
</SHAMELESS PLUG>
Now, while I hadn't planned to write any importer for a shapefile for my Exporter, I might consider it if you get stuck and can't find a satisfactory tool.

Simon

Conversion from UTF to EBCDIC format- Urgent

I want to convert the data from UTF* format to EBCDIC format and create a flat file for the same. Is there any utility tools available in oracle. If not what are the other possibilities? pls help me.
Thanks

Hi ,
I am trying to convert the normal text data to EBCDIC. As we all know, there is a corresponding value for each normal character in ASCII/HEX/BINARY/EBCDIC etc.
Using CONVERT I am able to see some data converted correctly but rest of hte accented characters not correctly.
select convert('^', 'US7ASCII','EBCDIC' ) from dual;
select convert(';' ,'WE8EBCDIC500','US7ASCII') from dual;
^ = ascii normal txt
; = corresponding ebcdic of ^
Internally CONVERT function seems to be doing correct conversion but there is a problem wiht the actually new - to be replaced characters. SQLPLUS is not able to display all the characters correctly. For all the accented chars of "a", it shows plain english a, same wiht e , u etc.
I would like to know is there anyone who knows what client side settings need to be done so that the CONVERT function output is displayed correctly on SQLPLUS.
I am using Oracle 9i Rel 2
NLS_LANG on my client (win XP) is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
As seen in the CONVERT function, the correct charset is - 'WE8EBCDIC500'
And the db params are as follows --
===========================================
SQL> select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS;
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

I've recently gotten this error when I try to drag an audio file into the loops library (to create an apple loop.)
Comes along with Result Code=-43.
I'm trying to quantize some rhythmic loops using flex, then turn them into apple loops for the library.
My process:
Take original audio.
Flex it using slice mode.
Bounce in place.

I am trying DWF files to a PDF format but only half of my drawing is converting. Can anyone help? Is it a setting? The original file is an autocad file.

How do you convert AutoCAD DWF files to a PDF format. These are blue prints and I was told by Adobe to use the Acrobat DC program so that's what I did but now I am only getting half of a drawing on a page. Is this as simple as a setting?

Hi subscription question,
I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
Best,
Sara

Thank you

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

Did you look in iTunes?

Finder cannot open files in the "volume" format.

I had to downgrade from the second Yosemite beta in order to run one of my applications for work that didn't run on Yosemite. I've successful reinstalled Mavericks to the chagrin of finder not working at all. Whenever I mount a DMG I get "Finder cannot open files in the “volume” format." Also, whenever I click to open a folder or a new window in finder, it just crashes and relaunches. I'm going to try to do a fresh install of Mavericks and recover from a backup. Let me know if you guys have faced this same issue and found a solution.
I also had to regain admin privileges for my user which I have done successfully.

I fixed my problem by installing Mavericks again. No need to fully restore.

Can I get files from a Mac formatted External Hard Drive onto a PC

I have some old files on a mac formated external and wanted to know if there is anyway I could plug it into my pc and be able to access it. So far no dice. If there is a way to do it, I'd really appreciate knowing how. Thanks a lot.

Install an application such as MacDrive onto Windows.
