## Example

Suppose you want to **convert** a series of strings encoded in **EBCDIC 037** to ASCII format:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required [Action](https://docs.onum.com/the-workspace/pipelines/actions) configuration and select the input **Field**.
2. In the **Operation** field, choose **From EBCDIC 037**.
3. Set **Output** **Format** to `ASCII / UTF-8`.
4. Give your **Output field** a name and click **Save**. The values in your input field will be converted. For example:

```
Input data - "414243c"

Output Format - ASCII / UTF-8

Output data - "ABC"
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You can try out operations with specific values using the **Input** field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the **Output** field.
{% endhint %}
