I am trying to convert an EBCDIC file with zoned decimal to an ASCII tab delmited file. I am having a problem with the copybook wizard where it doesn't interpret the following OCCURS syntax correctly:

03 XXXX-PENDING-PYMT-SCHED OCCURS 24 TIMES.
04 XXXX-PEND-SCHED-START-DATE PIC S9(8)V9(5). 7,535 A
04 XXXX-PEND-SCHED-FREQUENCY PIC S9. 7,548 A
04 XXXX-PEND-NUMBER-OF-PYMTS PIC S9(3). 7,549 A
04 XXXX-PEND-AMOUNT-OF-PYMT PIC S9(11)V99. 7,552 A
04 XXXX-PEND-ESCROW-PAYMENT PIC S9(7)V99. 7,565 A
04 XXXX-PEND-SCHED-RATE PIC S9(3)V9(4). 7,574 A
04 XXXX-PEND-PYMT-OCCURRENCES PIC S9(3). 7,581 A
04 XXXX-PEND-PYMT-RECALC-CODE PIC S9(3). 7,584 A

This type of OCCURS is working correctly:
03 XXXX-SIGNER-FLAG OCCURS 100 TIMES PIC S9. 15,494 A

Do you know of a way I can get the first group to repeat the 8 fields 24 times?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I wanted to clarify what the issue is - the first set of logic below outputs one copy of set of the fields, instead of outputting the 24 occurrences.
Thanks! Linda Kampa

Hi Linda,

The '7,535 A' text at the end of each line is not correct and needs to be removed ie.
Also - we recommend you use the Mainframe Copybook Filter instead of the wizard (the wizard generates a stack of filters for you, while the Mainframe Copybook Filter keeps them behind the scenes).
