Copybook transformation steps in PDI

PDI has two transformation steps you can use to read mainframe records from a file and transform them into PDI rows. These steps are intended for data scientists with mainframe file and copybook experience.

• Copybook input

  This step reads the mainframe files that were originally created using the copybook definition file and outputs to the PDI stream for use in transformations.

• Read metadata from Copybook

  This step reads the metadata of a copybook definition file to use with ETL Metadata Injection in PDI.
