Processing Cobol file in datastage

[olopade8425]

I want to load Cobol file with Copy book and datafile. The file contains packed decimal fields, COMP-3 and COMP. I was able to load the Table definition from the copy book and the structure looks okay. When I tried to veiw the data I got an error "cannot execute binary file".

You are trying to view the data where/how exactly? Also, you should be using the Complex Flat File stage for this, are you?

I am using complex flat file stage. I imported the copybook to Table definitions -> COBOL FD, I was able to see the columns after loading the structure. I pointed to the file in the complex flat file stage and got error while trying to view the data in the output tab of the complex flat file stage.
