Data translation
Under Data translation?, choose Yes or No for Translate Data?. The default is No. If the file you will be accessing using the parsed structure contains binary data created on OS/390(R), the data needs to be converted. If you have been using MVS Native services and have downloaded a data set from OS/390 to simulate on the workstation, you will want to convert the data. Select Yes if you want your binary data converted.
You can also manually modify the getter and setter methods generated by the parser to convert between ASCII and EBCDIC for testing on the workstation. Update COBOL or C display field getter and setter methods with methods mvsFromEbcdic and mvsAsEbcdic respectively. When packaging for OS/390, you do not need to remove these methods from your generated classes; they become NOOP methods on OS/390.
