SPF/Pro has a capability that would be good to see in SPF Lite.
In SPF/Pro the CREATE command can automatically translate between EBCDIC and ASCII and vice versa. This is done when the character set of the source and target files is different.
Say I have two profiles .PTF and .TXT where:
PTF has RECFM=F LRECL=80 SOURCE=EBCDIC
TXT has RECFM=U LRECL=0 SOURCE=ANSI
If I copy lines from a .PTF file to create a .TXT file, then SPF/Pro will automatically translate those lines from EBCDIC to ASCII. Of course, it also adds or removes blanks as appropriate for the profiles.
In SPF/Pro, this automatic translation is done with the CREATE, CUT, PASTE and REPLACE edit commands.
