You can type 'ebcdic' or 'ascii' in dml just before "record" ... and dml will define the data accordingly.

Ascii vs. Ebcdic

When you view  your data does it have different charaters inbetween that do not look ASCII?  If so, then in your record format type the following:

ebcdic record

record details add them

end;

view your data again. Be sure to check for '/A0'  this is an ebcidc character which means endline.

For ASCII formats write the DML as below.

cust_id decimal(8)...

For EBCIDIC formats write the DML as below.

ebcidic cust_id decimal(8)...

The delimiters varies in each and every ebcidic formats send from source files.  But Its generally hexadecimal embedded.
