PDC-E (Pro~Formance Data Convert for EBCDIC files) is a DOS program to help you convert EBCDIC files to ASCII files.  With PDC-E you can create output files with the same structure as the original file. Or, you can create comma-delimited output files, which can simplify importing data into other programs.  Note:  PDC-E runs fine in a DOS box under Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT.

 

PDC-E is an interim product.  We're developing PDC (Pro~Formance Data Convert), a very flexible data conversion tool.  But we're getting many calls from people who have immediate needs to convert EBCDIC files.  So we developed PDC-E as an interim product.  It's available now.  And anyone who orders PDC-E will be entitled to a discount on PDC.    Note:  PDC will be a 32-bit Windows product which will run under Windows 95, 98, NT, etc.

 

PDC-E is very easy to use:   pdc-e  EBCDIC.Fil   ASCII.Fil  <enter>  That's it!  PDC-E will read your EBCDIC file, and create another file in ASCII format.  If you prefer a comma-delimited output file, type:  pdc-e  EBCDIC.Fil  ASCII.Fil   /C  (note the "/C"; this second option requires a "structure file" describing the fields in each record -- download pdc-e.zip and read "readme.txt" for details). 

 

For more information on PDC-E, download the very small .ZIP file (60k), then  read readme.txt:  PDC-E.Zip

 

Note that:
PDC-E supports only character (or text) fields.  It should not be used to convert files with packed numeric fields.  (Some EBCDIC files store "numbers" in text form.  PDC-E can handle most of these numbers fine.)  Our PDC product will be able to handle many types of numeric fields.

 

As a DOS program, PDC-E inherits DOS' 2-gigabyte file size limit.  Our PDC product will be able to handle many files up to 18 quintillion bytes in size!

 

Evaluation copies of PDC-E are available so you can try out PDC-E and see if it will serve your needs.  Evaluation copies have the same features as registered copies.  But evaluation copies will remind you that you haven't yet ordered your own copies.
