Converting from EBCDIC to ASCII and vice-versa

The data encoding conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII or vice-versa in Adeptia Connect allows for seamless conversion between two different character encoding schemes. This conversion aims to facilitate interoperability and data exchange between systems or files encoded in EBCDIC and ASCII formats. It ensures compatibility and consistency in data processing and communication.

In a Process Flow, you can use the activities EBCDIC2ASCII or ASCII2EBCDIC to change the data encoding format as needed by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Process Designer screen and click  (Repository View) located at the top-left corner.
  2. In the Repository View Panel, select Activities.
  3. Expand the EBCDIC section.
  4. To convert from ASCII to EBCDIC encoding, drag and drop ASCII2EBCDIC onto the canvas area. Else, skip to the next step.
  5. To convert from EBCDIC to ASCII encoding, drag and drop EBCDIC2ASCII onto the canvas area.
