How to convert binary Unix file to text
Hi all,
I have a print control file (dflt) for Oracle which is in binary. As I am going to develope an application in Window environment, I would like to reference the dflt file. But it is in binary format and I cannot access it. Anyone can suggest me how to convert the file into text or human readable language. Rgds |

Hi,
I don't know what exact means by layout. The format of the dflt in windows is something like the following format which is a text file. ////////////////////////////////////////////// printer "dflt" height 66 width 80 after page control(L) return "" linefeed control(J) /////////////////////////////////////////////// Rgds |

Can you edit the file in unix and read it? If you know this much I am guessing that the file on the windows side is garbled.

I cannot edit nor read the file. It should not be garbaged because the Oracle report reference it.
