mfplicnv Syntax

The valid format for the mfplicnv command is:

mfplicnv infile outfile [–margins 2,72][-ebcdic -codepage xxxx]

Where infile is the name of the source to be scanned for embedded hex values, and outfile is the name of the newly created file containing the source converted to use hex literal constants.

-ebcdic -codepage xxxx indicates that the input file is encoded in EBCDIC and output is written as ASCII source.

Note: If your mainframe sources have already been converted to ASCII, but the embedded bytes were incorrectly translated during the download process or during conversion, embedded hex values are compromised. In this scenario, either correct your conversion procedures or start with EBCDIC input files.
