Hello,
I am trying to extract the data from a file ftp-ed from mainframes onto Unix in binary format through CFF satge.I have selected 'DATA FORMAT" as EBCDIC and record style as 'binary' in CFF stage.
I am getting the junk data when i click view data in CFF stage in the fields which are defined as a characters.
Surprisingly Comp3 packed decimal fields appear to be ok. Do I need to perform any pre-processing on this file before CFF stage??
Thanks for the help

What values are you seeing for the text columns defined as value spaces? Are they all the same character and if so, which one? Have you checked to make 100% certain that your file on the UNIX box is actually still in EBCDIC and not in ASCII (this would explain a binary transfer with COMP-3 columns being correct)
