Parsing cobol file data values are coming as encrypted

[Mahendhar Reddy]

Hi bruce,
i have copybook file and data file which is having binary data with .txt files. i am able to parse copybook(UTF-8) and data file(ANSI and tried with UTF-8 as well) values but the data file values are getting as encrypted. i tried with changing encoding value of file but the results are same. here i'm attaching my copybook and data file sample values(not full file but the format is same if needed i can share screenshot). please find the code snippet below

CobolIoProvider ioprovider = CobolIoProvider.getInstance();
FileInputStream copyStream = new FileInputStream (new File(filename));
AbstractLineReader reader = ioprovider.newIOBuilder(copyStream, " test file copy book", ICopybookDialects.FMT_MAINFRAME)
.setFont("CP037").setFileOrganization(Constants.IO_FIXED_LENGTH_RECORDS)
.setSplitCopybook(CopybookLoader.SPLIT_NONE).newReader(datafilename);
AbstractLine policy;
Layout detail layout = reader.getLayout();
details = layout.getFieldNameMap();
StringBuffer stringwriter = new StringBuffer ();
while ((policy=  reader.read())!=null){
final AbstractLine policyF = policy;
details.entrySet().stream().
forEachOrdered (e->stringwriter.append(getCleanFeildValue(policyF, e)).append(",");
stringwriter.append(System.lineSeparator());
}

private static String getCleanFeildValue(AbstractLine policyF, Entry<String, IFieldDetail> e){
String value= policyF.getFieldValueIfExists(e.getKey()).asString();
if( value.matches("[f]+")){
Value = "";
}
return value;
}

I can not really tell anything from what you have provided I really need to see a data file & Copybook. I have tried to send you my direct e-mail

Is this file from the mainframe ??? and have you transfered as EBCDIC (i.e. no translation of the file) also called a binary transfer.

If you can look at the file in a normal text editor and can read it - you have a problem.
