Hi All,

I have FTPed a zip file to my Z/OS system and have extracted it using PKZIP, the output file is pipe delimited record format is 'VB' . I want to split the data such that each record must begin with new line. The Data is in UTF -8 format and end of records is denoted by '0D0A'. Can anybody suggest me how to implement it?. do PKZIP have some options or ICETOOL etc.

Note :For any futher clarification pls feel free to contact me.

OK, got you so far, providing you've done this part correctly.

OK, still got you. It would be nice if you could post your PKUNZIP JCL and control cards for reference purposes.

Got you on the record format being VB part. You lost me when you refer to the data as being "pipe delimited".

If PKUNZIP was done correctly, it should.

That's true in ASCII.

Hello,

Please post a few of the unzipped records in hex (you can turn HEX ON when you browse the dataset).

By pipe-delimited you mean your original looks like data1|data2|data3|data. . . etc . . cr/lf?

Note : The line 3&4 is in continuation with where the line 1,2 ends. The '0D0A' represent end of record. the next record begins in the same ROW. i want it to begin in different ROW

I have tried this Modifying the control card putting data_type(TEXT). i was able to get each new record begining in new ROW

If the file is not too big, you can use REXX's PARSE instruction.

Hi Ofer71,

I dont have any technical knowledge of REXX, could you please tell me in detail , hoe to implement using REXX (If possible, can i have the code).

Kumar shobhit, I'm under the impression that you've solved your problem by using the DATA_TYPE(TEXT) parameter for PKUNZIP. Am I correct in my understanding, or is there another issue you still need to deal with?

HI Kevin,

Actually the file is in unicode(UTF-8) if i put data type as 'text' while unzipping, i think translation of character set takes place. I want RAW format od data without any translation. (As we are not too sure if translation can cause any problem in near future.).I have one more question , do PKZIP supports unicode?. I hope iam clear in my explanation of the issues i have?

Yes, when the file is compressed, the cr/lf are not detected by FTP.

How large is your original file?

Hi Dick,

We recieve those file from vendors , so i do not know what would be the file size in near future. Currently i have test file which after unzipping have some 15K records with max Lrecl =1072.( file is VB, so lrecl varies for each record). Any other approch that you would like to suggest, you are welcome

If you want to do "meaningful" work with your data on the mainframe, you almost assuredly have to translate the data from ASCII to EBCDIC (data_type=TEXT). I believe that PKZIP allows you to specify the translation tables (don't know, only tried a demo copy a couple of years ago). However, if you have binary values in your data from the originating system, they will get mangled. From what I see of your "text" translated data, that doesn't seem to be the case. If you do have binary values, you'll need to pull the data as binary/image (that is, no translation) and use a tool such as SAS to parse and translate it appropriately.

Hello,

With so few records, i'd try the ftp without compressing the file.
