I'm going to map messages from an AS/400 (EBCDIC) to Windows.
The AS computer uses packed fields and I have read that the CWF format can deal with this. On the other hand people tell me that CWF is for COBOL and C struct mappings and that I should use a TDS format.
Does anyone have any experience on this?

Hi Anders,
I'm dealing with Data coming from SunSolaris as XML and converting
to OS390. On the Output I'm Using a CWF Format with packed decimals signed fields. It works fine so far. We had a problem earlier that was fixed by IBM. I'm not sure anymore what it was, but i think it was in decimal packed fields mapping the last byte failed.
In your case you could define a CWF Message for your incoming message from AS400 and map it to whatever you need. For creating
a CWF mesage you can import your cobol copybook form AS400.
The import generates the structure. Before importing I modified my copybooks, inserting initial values (value space, value zero). Saves
a lot of time because the import generates the elemnets for initial value.
Otherwise it takes some time to do it manually.
Cheers Egils |

Thank you very much for your reply Egils!
I will start to work with the CWF format.

Do you remember how it fixed your problem?
We have just encountered that same problem. |
