Fujitsu Data Converter for Windows

Fujitsu® Data Converter for Windows® is a tool for converting data files from one format to another. Data Converter converts different file organizations: sequential, indexed, relative, text file (line sequential), binary, XML data and comma-separated values (CSV), it also converts different character code systems: ASCII and EDCDIC.

Data Converter let's you convert your data files from format to format or from code set to code set with an interactive, easy-to-use interface. Data Converter follows the Fujitsu standard of providing fast, reliable software tools. This is particularly important when handling large quantities of critical data.

Highlights: 
  • Move data between different COBOL file formats.
  • Load data files from text files.
  • Convert data to and from XML data files
  • Create DTD (Document Type Definition) files used with XML
  • Move COBOL data to and from spreadsheets and databases.
  • Convert data from one code set to another (e.g. ASCII to EBCDIC)
  • Create matching COPY libraries from the Layout Definition file
  • Supports Unicode data.
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 conversions 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 writing many commonly required file processing programs.
