Convert ebcdic file to ASCII

[L-cynthiya]

Hello,

I am having a small problem regarding the conversion of the ebcdic file. I need to convert the ebcdic file into the ASCII but don't know the code for the same. Is there any method available to the perform the conversion. I have heard about the add on for the conversion not sure that they are available in the market or not. So i need you help to solve my problem regarding the same. A help may be appreciated.

Thank in advance.

Hi,
I am forwarding you the code for the conversion of the ebcdic file into the ASCII. So just go through the code and find the solution of your problem.

Dim c As Integer = Asc(Inarray(I))
Dim Inarray() As Char 
Dim sign As Integer
Dim R As Long
For I As Integer = 0 To Inarray.length - 1
{
If I = Inarray.Length - 1 Then
   { If (c And &HF0) = &HD0 Then sign = -1 Else sign = 1
      End If
   } 
    c = Inarray()
    R = R * 10 + c
    Next
    R *= sign
}

Here is the code for the conversion of the file.

public class FileConversion
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
  if (args.Length != 2)
 {
   Console.WriteLine 
   ("Result: FileConversion<ebcdic(input)> <ascii(output)>");
    return;
 }
  string inputFile = args[0];
  string outputFile = args[1];
  Encoding inputEncoding = EbcdicEncoding.GetEncoding ("EBCDIC");
  Encoding outputEncoding = Encoding.ASCII;
  try
  {
    using (StreamReader inputReader = 
    new StreamReader (inputFile, inputEncoding))
    {
      using (StreamWriter outputWriter = 
      new StreamWriter (outputFile, false, outputEncoding))
     {
      char[] buffer = new char[8192];
      int len=0;
      while ( (len=inputReader.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
     {
      outputWriter.Write (buffer, 0, len);
     }
     }
   }
}
      
        catch (IOException e)
        {        }
}
}

Hi there,

EBCDIC is an encoding introduced by the IBM, used for the mainframes. It is not the single character encoding as well as is a single-byte encoding. Each character in EBCDIC is encoded individually. It has two character which is known as shift out and shift in. These two character are used for the DBCS to make change between them .

I hope now you know much about the EBCDIC.
