CoSort Processes Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Unicode Data

Innovative Routines International (IRI), Inc. announced that its flagship data manipulation software, CoSort V9, now processes large flat files containing multibyte characters. CoSort allows companies to rapidly permute and convert Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) data in their native forms.

IRI VP David Friedland explained that "CoSort can now sort, join, and protect data encoded in most CJK formats," including EUC, Unicode and IBM DBCS. CoSort V9 also converts BK to ASCII (Pinyin equivalent), UTF8 and UTF16; Shift JIS to UTF8 and UTF16; EHANGUL, HHANGUL, KEF to EUC_KR (Wansung).

Sorting BIG5 or simplified Chinese EBCDIC characters, and translating Johab data to Wansung, "typify the requirements of legacy migration and data warehousing operations in Asia," he added.

CoSort's parallel sorting interfaces work identically across Unix, Linux and Windows platforms, and sorts scale linearly in volume. The CoSort engine can sort multigigabyte files in under a minute on multi-CPU servers, while accepting any number, size, and type of structured fields, records, and files - including mainframe binary, EBCDIC and index formats, IP addresses, multibyte Asian characters, timestamps, etc. CoSort also speeds or migrates other sorting functions with plug-ins, conversion tools and services - saving time and money.

CoSort users can combine these functions as they map between multiple input and output files and formats. Jobs can be monitored, logged and audited for performance analysis, data forensics and compliance verification.
