Error while reading Mainframe file

rajesh90 — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 11:20:57 GMT

Team,

Requirement is to process mainframe file(EBCDIC) file, so below is the job design,

tFileInputRaw --> tHmap --> tFileOutputDelimited

Used a COBOL copy book to generate the structure and the same was called inside tHmap and the corresponding output assignments where made.

While executing the job getting error like,

"2: Error - An end-of-file was encountered during the processing of this element. (802)

Structure : Structure/"

In the output able to see few records but the records are like readable and non readable format.

Help on this regards is much appreciated.

Hi,

Do you mean "tMap" in instead of "tHmap"?

In this case, can you share your tMap settings?

Talend community provides components having capability to read or write EBCDIC file format from Mainframe platform.

-tFileInputEBCDIC
-tFileOutputEBCDIC

Please https://exchange.talend.com and download these components from the studio.

Hi TRF,

It is tHmap component, using it we achieve Talend Data Mapper capabilities, not tmap.

Hi Manodwhb,

Note that this component is deprecated. The EBCDIC handling capabilities are now fully supported by Talend Data Mapper that comes with any Talend Platform solutions. For more information about Talend Data Mapper, see Talend Data Mapper User Guide.
