Reading Mainframe file as binary for COMP fields

Post by horserider »

I am reading a mainframe source file that has COMP fields.

FTP Enterprise(get file as binary) >
Transformer (nothing happening here)>
Sequential File (export EBCDIC as ASCII)

Data is converted properly, but I get a warning message.

"Sequential_File_80: When checking operator: When validating export schema: Unrecognized top level format property: fix_zero"

What could be the reason of the error message

Show us what you did, where fix_zero is used. Did you really use fix_zero somewhere in DataStage TX, or have you posted in the wrong forum?

In the Sequential File which is the target, just remove the Fix Zero option on the Decimal Tab and you should be all set.
