Experts, need your help. I have a file which is in ebcdic binary (cp 1047). I tried dd if=so_tran05.dat_bkp conv=ascii. This command converts everything except packed decimal amount fields and date/timestamp fields. What is the workaround?

output looks like
Code:
21211       001332        80473WA0680002                                    \201\250*^L53073   20131004        20140101  201401019010200C35406^L

expected output
Code:
21211          01332        80473WA0680002                                         214.95       0.0053073        20131004 20140101        201401019010200C35406NN2015-02-12 07:54:09
