Does Talend (TOS) support EBCDIC data format ?

Does anyone know if Talend supports EBCDIC data format and EBCDIC to ASCII conversion?  Could it read (translate) a Cobol Copybook and use that as the meta-data for reading the EBCDIC datafile? I don't seems to see a lot of information on how Talend handles EBCDIC data format.

Re: Does Talend (TOS) support EBCDIC data format ?

Simple answer:

In talend you could make a little custom routine to do this conversion for you. Something like a little java routine such as EBCDICtoASCII(String).
So read a file as Byte array or String and then convert it with this custom routine.

And if you're using a Perl project, you can try Convert::EBCDIC CPAN module.

Still with Perl, better (fresher update) would be Encode::EBCDIC.
