The ADABAS/NATURAL product offerings from Treehouse Software, Inc. (TSI), include ADAMAGIC , a data extraction utility for ADABAS . ADAMAGIC can be used to convert all application data files from an EBCDIC ADABAS database to equivalent files on a UNIX ASCII database. It does this by using an OS/390, Z/OS, or VSE  ADABAS ADASAV to load ADABAS C databases on UNIX. ADAMAGIC also reads UNIX ADABCK backup tapes to create subsets of data for testing or reporting. ADAMAGIC is useful to DBAs who need to convert from mainframe to UNIX, easily access historical data from ADABAS backups, or populate test databases.
