Suppose I have a Pack/Unpacked EBCDIC file (.upd), what's the easist
way to convert it to an ASCII file (.dat)? Do I need a conversion
table and everything, or can I just do it with a simple Reader/Writer
in Java and do it per byte?? Also, I will have a copybook file to help
me convert & unpack. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thanks lots!
