Description
# Background
I am having the Easytrive layout which is having the Packed unsigned fields (data-type U in Easytrieve), binary unsigned fields (data-type B in Easytrieve) and Alpha-numeric fields (data-type A in Easytrieve and storing Hexbit). The Data file that we are trying to convert is EBCDIC data
# Question
We were using cobrix for couple of files which it worked fine till now. Recently encountered one new file of Easytrieve layout which is not cobol
and we are not able to decode the file into ascii.
We are using below options/parameters to read the file.
> def read_dataframe(spark, copybook):
> return (
> spark.read.format("cobol")
> .option("record_format","F")
> .option("encoding", "ebcdic")
> .option("copybook", copybook) #Copybook
> .option("enable_indexes", "false")
> .option("input_split_size_mb", "256")
> .option("drop_value_fillers", "true")
> .option("drop_group_fillers", "false")
> .option("generate_record_id", "false")
> .option("schema_retention_policy", "keep_original")
> .option("paths", ",".join(data_files)) #EBCIDIC File
> .load()
> )
Please find the attached sample data and layout for your reference @yruslan .
