There is a free utility from Computer Associates which is called RCOPY. You can look-up their download site for the utility RCOPY.ZIP. <br><br>But of course, you can do it yourself in any COBOL program using the option in the FD CODE-SET is alphabet-name-1 and perhaps your COBOL compiler supports this. <br><br>If you handle binairy fields in your files, it is necessairy to do the conversion yourself or you should convert the file into readable format and a separate sign. After that you use RCOPY to convert in the pc environment.
