Hi I had a requirement to deal with data from mainframe , I had ftp'ed the data in Ebcdic format to hdfs ,

But i want to convert that data using mainframe copybook in haddop , I can convert in mainframe but i don't want to do that ,

Can some one help me with the code to use in hadoop to convert mainframe file to hdfs file ?
(i need to handle comp 3 and occurance fields as well).

Also tell me how to execute in hadoop? please....

This code should work. It is old but so is copybook :)

You may have to make some changes but the main idea will work. The only thing this doesn't support is variable length files.
