What this is

The EBCDIC edition of OGA0861 — identical records, original encoding, published for subscribers whose readers expect it.

How it is laid out

The Railroad Commission publishes this as EBCDIC (IBM cp037). IBM mainframe encoding (cp037). Opening it as text gives you nonsense; it has to be transcoded first. We mirror the Commission's file exactly as they published it, byte for byte. We have not decoded this one into a table yet, so reading it needs the right tooling.

What we add

Feed a COBOL reader directly. For anything else take the ASCII edition.

  • Mirrored so the file is here when the Commission's own link is not.
  • Documented — what it is, where it came from, and when we last fetched it.

Worth knowing before you use it

EBCDIC with packed-decimal numerics.

EZRRC does not parse this file. Upstream has not built a reader for it yet, so the catalog documents it and links to the Commission's own copy rather than pretending to serve rows it does not have.

The full page lists every trap in this dataset.
