Hi,
I have noticed that, and please check the "Use Custom Input Encoding" item. The component tchangeFileEncoding will read your system type by default. You need change it into your type "ASCII".

Hi,
I also noticed that, these images produced by myself. If you refer to Omie's images, she've done exactly what you asked me to do now, the result still same...just like mine. Also, i've selected to the other type, still got the same output.

Hi,
I think we make a misunderstanding on your issue. i have consulted my leader and he said you don't really need to encoding your file but just want to get a readable text. I have known your requirement, using Talend to transfer the source file you got into readable text. Would you give some example, about the readable text? what exactly it look like? or tell us how do you get the source file, so that we can use the related component to help you. I don't think the Encoding is what you need. Because i have said it is the "3.219E+29" in 6#, which is not a readable text. Sorry for the inconvenient.
Best regards

Hi,
This file is sample file from user and they said that the data has been retrieve from mainframe and they converted into delimiter file. I require to translate it and load it into target. Readable text means i wants to translate it.

If this is mainframe data you need to know what the original encoding was (EBCDIC?) and what the output encoding is. I don't recognise the output as any obvious encoding. It would be useful if you could get a copy of the original before it was encoded so you know what you're trying to create.
It looks like it's a lot of mainframe fields for numeric data probably 8 characters each. They don't translate directly to text items. I've seen stuff like this years ago but would need to know what the original was to remind me of how to translate it.
