The main problem, obtain new tools to z/OS. tools is very outdated on USS z/OS. This will leave the encoding EBCDIC and go to the encoding ISO-8859-1 on USS. and is able to build newer versions of the tools with minimum work on porting. If the community perl knows about encoding EBCDIC , the community git does not know about it. turn on the system ASCII support is much easier than working with the encoding EBCDIC . -- Regards, Yaroslav Kuzmin Developer C/C++ ,z/OS , Linux 3 Zhukovskiy Street · Miass, Chelyabinsk region 456318 · Russia Tel: +7.922.2.38.33.38 Email: YKuzmin@rocketsoftware.com Web: www.rocketsoftware.com В Ср., 27/07/2016 в 12:30 +0000, Carroll, Sandra E (Sandra) пишет: > 100% of what I do, and many (if not most all) on z/OS is EBCDIC based not ASCII based. > We do not want or need our files ascii encoded by default if that's what you're suggesting. > Being able to natively read a ascii file is a plus but native encoding needs to remain EBCDIC. > > That would be like making EBCDIC the default encoding on Linux. > what we do is parsing 5-10 million line per day per system log files (so over 100 million lines) > that are MVS (not USS) datasets. > > My question is what perceived problem are you trying to fix? > Is this to make porting easier or is it to fix a problem accessing files on zOS? > > Sandra ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ■ 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ■ +1 877.328.2932 ■ +1 781.577.4321 Unsubscribe From Commercial Email – unsubscribe@rocketsoftware.com Manage Your Subscription Preferences - http://info.rocketsoftware.com/GlobalSubscriptionManagementEmailFooter_SubscriptionCenter.html Privacy Policy - http://www.rocketsoftware.com/company/legal/privacy-policy ================================ This communication and any attachments may contain confidential information of Rocket Software, Inc.
