I tried to download copybook by doing this:
RECEIVE HBF1418D.COB 'HSTLB.PRD.COPY(HBF1418D)' ASCII CRLF
but it gave me the error:
INVALID KEYWORD, HBF1418D.COB
REENTER THIS OPERAND -
So I open the copybook in fileaid and copied it manually, not sure I got it right, please see...
Thanks Marc,
The data from this file is only one source of the final report, so I guess I will have to download it first then link to the other sources in PC for the final report.
If the data can be accessed through ODBC, I guess I would be told already, but I will ask IS department anyway.
I...
I am seeing the data in fileaid combined with the copybook library. I am happy with what I see, but how can I download the data, it's not like I open something in Excel and use "Save as". So the convert for me means I can download the data the way it is showing in fileaid now.
Thanks!!
Marc,
Now with option 1, I can view the file. You just made my day!! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
So the next step for me is, is it possible to use fileaid convert that file, can you point me a direction again please?
Marc,
I found out how to run fileaid
In "ISPF" screen, enter "6", then it will allow to enter TSO commands, then type "fileaid".
Ok, so the next step would be to figure out how to use fileaid.
Thank you so much Marc!
I followed your steps and I can view the file and copybook layout in one screen. But I do see COMP-3 in the copybook layout.
Also I tried typing "fileaid", but I got this message:
ISPS118L SERVICE NOT INVOKED. A VALID ISPF ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT EXIST.
Thanks guys!
I have access to TSO, but I am trying to download the readable to my pc then I can run some reports from there.
Sorry I am really new to mainframe, not sure which command can help me.
And the people from IS department seems too busy or some other reason, they are not so willing...
That file is in mainframe, I was told the filename
ZHHBF.BFFSAM.HBF1418D(0)
but I can only retrieve through TSO when use file name ZHHBF.BFFSAM.HBF1418D, and it is 380M.
So I guess I didn't do it right
I was also told the copybook library is called HSTLB.PRD.COPY(HBF1418D)
Appreciate all...
Sorry I have never used cobol before.
Now I am giving a file name and a copybook library from our IS department, now I want to use copybook to convert the file to something can be understood.
Can you let me know how to use it please?
Thanks!!
