I tried to see the logs from certain Jython command aimed to deploy my application to Websphere 8.5. Unfortunatelly, I can't read it via "z/OS UNIX Directory List" since when I typed ea (edit/ASCII mode) on left side of my file I get the message on right top of my screen: "Record too large". In order to workaround it, I copied it to other file named trace.xml and I tried to convert it in order to use oedit. Unfortunatelly, when I tried iconv I got a very strange message (strange for a new Unix user) and an empty outcome file created. I guess I am doing nothing wrong with iconv as this command works for small files? I rembenber that I have read somewhere that OS/390 has some issue known by IBM related to open a big file. Well, I don't consider 15 Megabytes a big xml file.
Would the file size be the issue in both moment (UdList and iconv)? If so, since I just want to read the file, is there a workaround maybe by spliting it in multiple smaller files?
Could a special character (Ý) be blocking me to open the file and informing the odd message "Record too large". If so, how can I open such file?
Code: Select all
$ iconv -f ISO8859-1 IBM-1047 trace.xml > traceCon.xml
Usage: iconv Ý-cs¨ Ý-M|-T¨ -f oldset -t newset Ýfile ...¨
iconv Ý-cs¨ Ý-M|-T¨ -F Ý-f oldset¨ -t newset Ýfile ...¨
iconv -l Ý-v¨
