Mainframe to UNIX Conversion Software – FilePort

Mainframe to UNIX conversion is easy with FilePort. FilePort can automatically transform mainframe data to UNIX format, or UNIX data to mainframe format without destroying your data or existing record layouts. FilePort:

• Eliminates the need to manually calculate field offsets and lengths
• Transports 50% less data
• Saves you expensive mainframe CPU cycles
• Eliminates the need to learn utilities for a mainframe-based conversion
• Avoids the need to reformat output that is in the wrong layout

The data to be converted can contain any combination of character, decimal, packed decimal, and binary fields. FilePort runs on all major UNIX systems. It needs no installation other than the tar command and executes by use of the fileport command. FilePort can be licensed to convert from mainframe to UNIX, UNIX to mainframe, or to convert in both directions.
