Hello Sabrina, Thanks for your reply. I am very new to this topic and exploring TOSDI 5.4.1. According to my understanding tEBCDIC component requires .xc2j and data file. So i need to convert the cobol copybook to xc2j format before using tEBCDIC component. -->Is there any talend component which converts cobol copybook to xc2j format? If yes which is that TOSDI component? If no how can i convert it? -->Is there any Sample job which shows How the CopyBook having comp-3 Datatype is converted to xc2j format and tEBCDIC component uses this xc2j and data file for processing in TOSDI 5.4.1. *Note: I am not using Talend Platform Edition. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
if you are using enterprise talend then you can used metadata to create xc2j file but if you are using Open studio then you have to create xc2j manually using xc2j command line utility. then used same xc2j file to process EBCDIC file.
as far comp-3
columnname PIC S9(3,0)COMP-3.
it equivalent to BigDecimal(5,0);
hope this will help to process EBCDIC file.
Thanks Umeshrakhe,
I need below clarification.
-->How can i manually convert copybook to .xc2j format?
-->Is there any Pluging or Software to be installed to convert copybook to .xc2j format?
-->How you have achieved this and will that command line utility capable of handling COMP-3 Datatype ?

Q1 ans : use
http://cobol2j.sourceforge.net/manual.html url to generate .xcsj file.
Q2 ans : as far i know Talend does not support any direct plugin .
Q3 ans : using cobol2j utility you are able to process EBCDIC files and all type of datatypes including comp-3, comp-4 and so on.
Hello Umeshrakhe, Sorry for bothering. I followed the steps of your previous post. I have used below link http://sourceforge.net/p/cobol2j/feature-requests/_discuss/thread/8dae858f/ where i have used the copybook.cpy and data.ebcdic and converted copybook.cpy to .xc2j file. Now I fed the data.ebcdic and .xc2j to tFileInputEBCDIC. I am struck with creating the schema for tFileInputEBCDIC. How can i create schema for tFileInputEBCDIC.?? Is there any example that shows how to create schema by using .xc2j file or any other method. Any example which shows clearly how the input CopyBook file looks like with corresponding datafile that can be used by tFileInputEBCDIC for creating schema in it. I looked in several forum which says ,In TOSDI we have to create the schema manually. I am using TOSDI 5.4.1 can anyone help me with the same?
can you post your xc2j file? if you open xc2j file you will find it is XML file wherein source data type and destination datatypes with length mention. right now, I don`t have any suitable example for you that's way I am requesting you to provide sample of xc2j. file.
Using the xc2j file and and the data file in above link as an input to tFileInputEBCDIC what should be the schema structure that has to be defined in tFileInputEBCDIC componennt? Regards, BSO
