EBCDIC Character Sets (Such As Cp037)
The Parse Copybook Data activity expects EBCDIC-zoned decimal format and fails if it encounters any of the ASCII format data.
The EBCDIC-zoned decimal format uses EBCDIC codepoints for digits and defines the following sign nibbles for the sign byte:
The Parse Copybook Data activity accepts positive and negative nibbles for signed items (with S in the PICTURE clause for COBOL) and xF for both signed and unsigned items. Note that signed nibbles are not valid in an unsigned item.
The Render Copybook Data activity generates the signed nibbles xC and xD for positive and negative signed data, respectively. For unsigned data, the activity generates xF.
The ASCII Zoned Format dropdown and the input field asciiZonedFormat settings are disregarded.
