Full Discussion: EBCDIC to ASCII Binary conversion issue on Solaris i-series Unix
Operating Systems Solaris EBCDIC to ASCII Binary conversion issue on Solaris i-series Unix Post 302471181 by amodkavi on Friday 12th of November 2010 06:41:14 AM
Old 11-12-2010
I am working on one application, which basically take input file in EBCDIC file format, application parse the input file into ASCII file format. and hence output is readable to user.
I have two Solaris Unix setups, one is Solaris Sparc whereas other one is Solaris i386.
I am able to parse input file on Sparc Unix , however similar is not possible on i386 Unix server.
As I have executable file on Sparc Machine and hence i need to re execute code on i386 too. There is no compilation error on i386.

I am not sure about the issue, however I think, issue is with input file format ie EBCDIC. I Mean... EBCDIC file format which is generated on Sparc Solaris Unix Machine is not compatible with i386 Solaris Machine, and hence it gives me Memory Block reading issue on i386.
I need solution on same, what to do for this type of situation?
Thanks in Advance.
