Assume the following when comparing PC files with the mainframe:-
- the folder comparison ALWAYS specifies the PC folder on the left-hand side
- ditto, the MF PDS is always on the right-hand side
- the files that need to be compared on the PC all have a filetype of .CBL
- the equivalent MF PDS is always called xxxxxx.yyyy.COBOL
I would like to be able create settings that say that the left-hand side should be converted using ANSI, and the right-hand side should be converted using 1143. In addition, the line length of the right-hand side is ALWAYS 80 characters.
I have managed to open a couple of files but at the moment, the right-hand side is (by default) always being opened using 936 as the conversion. I can change this via Session, Session settings and the format tab to 1143. Trouble is, the file isn't shown with a line length of 80 bytes.
I changed the settings via Tolls, File formats as shown in the attached screen, but when I then review the results, trailing spaces seem to still be significant as shown in the second attachment
