What kind of job - Server, Parallel? One would typically use the Complex Flat File stage for reading mainframe EBCDIC files as it will handle all of that for you.

It's job server

Thanks, just wanted to confirm before I moved you out of the General forum to a job type specific one. As noted, use the Complex Flat File stage for this. Do you have the FD that describes the file layout? The CFF stage is a bit daunting at first but is what you would need to learn to consume that kind of a file.

This FAQ entry on the subject should prove helpful as well.
