This is an example of how a COBOL program can read a sequential file with EBCDIC content that is downloaded from a mainframe in binary format using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The example then describes how to translate the EBCDIC content to ASCII and write an ASCII file. At first glance the conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII appears to be a simple and practical task. Typically the EBCDIC files reside on a mainframe legacy system. These files may be very large and may have been updated over a period of many years. In addition to containing displayable EBCDIC characters the records may contain binary and packed decimal fields that cannot simply be converted using an EBCDIC/ASCII table. Signed numbers cannot be converted in the same manner as text data.
Also, some of the fields in a record may contains low-values (i.e. x'00') that are being handle as a space characters on the mainframe. The low-values remain low-values when converted to ASCII and when downloaded or ported to the PC these low-values may be treated as null characters and this presents a problem if not addressed in the initial conversion process.
A general guideline to follow is, "The scope of effort for converting a mainframe legacy file from EBCDIC to ASCII is directly proportional to the size of the file, the age of the file and the number and type of numeric fields." Estimating the time for conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII can be done with a high degree of accuracy. Estimating the time for "scrubbing the data" may be a challenging task.
The COBOL source code described in this document was generated using SimoZAPS, a product of SimoTime Enterprises. The SimoZAPS utility program also has the capability of reading, writing or converting between other file formats. In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This program is provided as a COBOL example of one of the possible solutions to the problem of changing the contents and structure of data files.

This suite of sample JCL Members describes and demonstrates how to create test data sets and convert between the EBCDIC and ASCII character sets.
This JCL member (CBLE2AJ1.JCL) will read an EBCDIC file, do the data translation from EBCDIC to ASCII and create a new sequential file. The DD statements will probably need to be modified to run on different mainframes. This JCL member will run on an IBM Mainframe with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Linux System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server.

This approach to data file conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII encoding schemas (or data formats) uses COBOL programs that do the data or record content conversion and the possible file format conversion (i.e. sequential file to VSAM, KSDS). This document focuses on the record content (or EBCDIC and ASCII) conversion task.
This program (CBLE2AC1.CBL) will read a record sequential (QSAM) EBCDIC file and write a record sequential (QSAM) ASCII file. This program may be compiled on an IBM Mainframe with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Linux System with Micro Focus COBOL.

* ASCEBCB1.CPY - includes a full character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters *
* and alternate codes for characters with the *
* acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and circumflex. *
* ASCEBCB2.CPY - includes the character set for the translation *

* zoned-decimal, numeric fields. *
* ASCEBCB3.CPY - includes the character set for the alternate *
* codes with the acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and *

* conversion. *
* ASCEBCB4.CPY - includes the character set for the alphabet *
