Hi,
I want to convert the data from ASCII hexadecimal to EBCDIC hexadecimal form
For Ex:
If I enter 0A, it should return SMM
If I enter 4C, it should return <
The complete list of ASCII - EBCDIC convertion is available at http://www.natural-innovations.com/computing/asciiebcdic.html
Can anyone please help me

If i'm not wrong, EBCDIC is AS400 (i5) encoding system... why don't you try with JTOpen or IBM Toolbox ? There should be
some utility classes that might help you in dealing with EBCDIC <-> ASCII conversion...

I'm not sure that this makes sense. The cited reference indicates that the 0x0A is the EBCDIC code for SMM and 0x4C is the EBCDIC for < so no conversion is necessary.
What format is your input? Are you asking that if you enter the characters '0' and then 'A' using the keyboard you want to convert this to a byte containing 0x0A?

Hi james & Claude,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have enclosed my input file
My requirement is to divide the file contents into header, data and footer
1. Header: First 8 bits
2. Data : next 4 bits after header contains the size of actual file data
3. Footer
