   Input/Output Library > COS-Blocking > Utilities for Manipulating COS-Blocked Files

We have four utilities for manipulating COS-blocked data files:

    cosfile
      This Unix-like utility summarizes a COS-blocked dataset. It reports the number of records and files in the dataset and determines the percentages of ASCII and binary data in the dataset.

    cossplit
      This Unix-like utility splits a multiple-file COS-blocked dataset into individual COS-blocked files.

    cosconvert
      This Unix-like utility strips the COS-blocking off of a COS-blocked file and reformats it, depending on the conversion option chosen.

    cbfscan
      This utility summarizes a COS-blocked dataset. It prompts the user for the name of a COS-blocked dataset, writes the beginning of the first 10 records in the file, and reports the number of records and minimum and maximum record sizes for the dataset.
