it also..but on 'view data' data is not coming
correctly..as it in MAINFRAME.give me some ideas..

Answer Posted / hussy

To read a Mainframe file you need a copybook of that file.
what I mean to say is metadata of that particular file. As
it will be in the cobol format (where levels are defined).
But there is possibility of reading Mainframe file without
using copybook but needs lot of effort.
