I have a job running in ESMAC Production which has a DFCONV step to convert the file from ASCII to EBCDIC. The file is huge and that step is running for last 5 hours or so. For now, we are letting this run until it completes but we need to reduce its execution time because of some other dependent jobs/interface. 

Any suggestions to do the conversion of file from ASCII to EBCDIC faster than DFCONV utility??

Any early response is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

As per above description you have large file

couple of question how you are running DFCONV ??

Command line or JCL batch method or any other??

Did you have Extfh.Cfg file in Prod Server configured and have below information in it.
