Fujitsu Data Converter for SPARC Architecture
Fujitsu® Data Converter for SPARC Architecture is a tool for converting data files from one format to another. You define the file formats and Data Converter performs the task of moving the data between these file formats such as COBOL data files and CSV (comma separated values) format files. It can also convert between ASCII and EBCDIC character code systems or use any character conversion mapping you specify.
Highlights:
- Move data between different COBOL file formats.
- Load data files from text files.
- Move COBOL data to and from spreadsheets and databases.
- Convert data from one code set to another (e.g. ASCII to EBCDIC)
Supported File Formats
- Sequential
- Line Sequential (Text file)
- Indexed
- Relative
- Binary
- Comma-Separated Values (CSV, also known as an RDB Loader File)
Supported Character Sets
- ASCII
- EBCDIC
- Other code conversions by editing the User Defined Conversion Tables
Supported Data Types
All COBOL data types such as packed decimal and binary data
Invocation Mode
Conversions are controlled using a command line providing the ability to work in batch mode.
Benefits:
-
Eases the task of bringing data from other platforms for processing by NetCOBOL applications. You don’t have to create special programs to do most conversions – just use the COBOL data definitions to guide Data Converter to do the work for you.
-
As conversion options include omitting fields written to the output file, converting from one data type to another, and specifying extraction conditions so only matching records are output, Data Converter can save you time and money writing many commonly required file processing programs.
