https://community.qlik.com/t5/Talend-Studio/Talend-Data-Mapper-Reading-COBOL-S9-9-COMP-Not-working-properly/m-p/2274570#M51201 I am using Talend Data Mapper to convert Ebcdic Data to Ascii. The conversion works fine for string fields. But when i try it for COMP and COMP fields it is giving a problem.<BR />I am reading 2 fields in that format:<BR />ID1 PIC S9(9) USAGE COMP - Mapped to Integer32 (Big Endian)<BR />ID2 PIC S9(3) USAGE COMP - Mapped to Short16 (Big Endian)<BR />The hex value for the sample data in 1st field is "8BE79676" and 2nd field is "A797". The ascii for this is "-1947756938" and "-22633".&nbsp;<BR />In the Map i am reading these fields in a Decimal pipe delimited field. But the value converted for the first field is "2347210358" and 2nd one it is "42903". When i convert the hex values manually i noticed that it is converting it as an Unsighed Integer instead of Signed.&nbsp;<BR />Can some one help me out with this problem ? Has anyone tried this out in Talend Data Mapper.
