Mainframe Condensed data

[manchikalapudi]

Background [Optional]

"Condensed" data refers to data that has been compressed or shortened to take up less space in memory. This is typically done by removing any unnecessary or redundant information from the data. For example, a condensed representation of a series of numbers might store only the differences between each number, rather than the actual values themselves. This can help reduce the amount of memory required to store the data, which can be especially important in systems with limited resources.

Question

Does Cobrix parse Condensed mainframe files?

[yruslan]

Hi, no it is not supported at the moment. We might add support, depending on the complexity of the feature.

Could you please point me to some documentation with more details about the data format? Specifically:

• How condensed fields look in the copybook?
• How the compression/decompression is performed?
