I am working on ADABAS 6.1.7 on Open Systems. I want to make a load on a file whose input is a text file originated on mainframe.  
It has 120 characters of lenght, all alphanumeric, without separator between the fields and I use newline separator to new register.  
I´m having a problem on compress. I tried see the error with ADAERR but I don’t get read the file CMPERR with ADAERR. The ADAERR ask for ERRIN file, that not exists.

Here is the .prm file

fdt  
max\_decompressed\_size=256K  
single\_file  
null\_value  
source\_architecture=(EBCDIC, IBM\_370\_FLOATING, HIGH\_ORDER\_BYTE\_FIRST)  
record\_structure=NEWLINE\_SEPARATOR

Here is the input file (some registers)

SAD01AX0CC00150508VIBAMAR ADM280508000000CAD SAD FASE 01 #MAIO/2008# ORIGINAL

Does someone have experienced something like this?

Which way did you transfer the data from mainframe? If it is a text file, then the file may have already been converted to ASCII. In this case you must no longer specify SOURCE\_ARCHITECTURE=EBCDIC. The recommended way for processing mainframe data is using FTP with the site rdw option as described for the ADACMP RECORD\_STRUCTURE parameter.
