Conversion of flat file to Mainframe file

Hi guys,

I have a flat file created by ETL tool.

Now the flat file has 4 columns. 1st column is a Character(17), 2nd Column Character(4), 3rd column is a decimal column and 4th column is also a decimal column.

I have to convert this file into a Mainframe file in the following format.

column1 x(17)
column2 x(4)
column3 S9(comp)
column4 S9(comp-3)

Is it possible to convert a text file to a mainframe (readable) format file in unix.

Cheers!!!!!
