Re: Decrypt an Iseries file on a PC.

Hello Peter,

Am 05.05.2020 um 11:47 schrieb peter jones <kirkhill@xxxxxxxxxx>:

A colleague has put together software to encrypt and decrypt a physical file using the standard API QC3ENCDT and QC3DECDT.

This software using AES works fine on the Iseries.

The QDCXLATE API was then used to convert the encrypted file from EBCDIC to ASCII.

As far as I understand, the result from encryption is a binary data stream. By converting, I expect the stream to be broken.

He has had no success decrypting the file once it is transferred to a PC.

Could he decrypt it after his ASCII translation on IBM i?

To copy the file from the Iseries he has used FTP, CA Data Transfer and CPYTOSTMF.

FTP in binary or ASCII mode? Any translations with CPYTOSTMF?

:wq! PoC
