Porting File from OPenVMS to AIX Unix
We are in requirement to port relative file organization files from OpenVMS V7.1-1H2 to AIX Unix. These file contains multiple binary records each of 512 bytes but it could be possible that a few bytes are padded up to fill the record structure.

One of our thought process is to write a program to dump record details of file on VMS into text format and then re-convert the same back to fixed record length binary files on AIX. This however becomes tedious as I am not too familiar with programming C on VMS.

Could someone help me out? On contrary is there any system / third party tool to port files of different format / file system from VMS to AIX.

VMS relative files are just fixed record length ASCII.

ftp the file from VMS to Unix as BIN type. You can then use dd on the unix side to make text files or whatever file format you need. Or am I missing something?
