This example provides a callable module (SIMOSNAP) that is used to determine the size and dump the content of a COBOL program's WORKING-STORAGE section in a Hex-dump format. The SIMOSNAP routine is intended to be used by application programs currently running on a Linux, UNIX or Windows (LUW) system with Micro Focus. A sample program (CBSNAPC1.CBL) is provided and describes the details of calling and reviewing the output of the snap-dump routine.
The primary objective is to provide a programmer with a callable routine that will dump the content of a COBOL program's WORKING-STORAGE Section and display the information to a SYSOUT device. A secondary objective is to determine the size of memory area and display this information to the SYSOUT device.
The purpose of the sample programs is to test the DUMP routine. The DUMP routine (SIMOSNAP) is called with two (2) parameters. The parameters are also referred to as "eye-catchers" that identify the start and ending points of the section of memory to be dumped.. The following is an example of a COBOL statement that will call the DUMP routine.
call 'SIMOSNAP' using STSNAP-START STSNAP-CEASE
The output of the DUMP routine is a display of information to SYSOUT. If JCL is used with the Enterprise Server Mainframe Sub System (ES/MSS) then the information will be written to the device specified by the SYSOUT DD statement. If a Windows Command file is used the information will be written to the device specified by the SYSOUT environment variable.
The following information is posted to the SYSOUT device.

This suite of samples programs will run on the following platforms.
| 1. | The DUMP routine was executed and tested on Windows/XP. The samples were executed using Micro Focus Net Express with a Windows CMD file and Micro Focus Enterprise Server with the Mainframe Sub-System option using JCL. Both environments were configued to run in an ASCII encoded environment. |
| 2. | The SimoMODS package should be installed prior to using this suite of sample programs. This example uses the SIMOSNAP.CBL program that is provided in the SimoMODS package. Refer to the SimoTime web site for more infomation. |
| 3. | This suite of programs may be ported to run on a LINUX or UNIX platforms supported by Micro Focus COBOL. |
The following is a flowchart of the job for executing the program to test the DUMP routine.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| An Example for Executing a Program to DUMP the WORKING-STORAGE Section to SYSOUT |
The main program (CBSNAPC1) will call the DUMP routine (SIMOSNAP) which will display the content of WORKING-STORAGE to a SYSOUT device (using a HEX Dump format). The source code for the CMD file, the JCL member and the COBOL programs is provided and may be modified to fit your environment.
The callable interface requires two data structures to be defined in the Working Storage section of the calling program.
Two copy files are provided to define the "eye-catcher" fields in the COBOL Working Storage Section. The copy statements will create the fields that will be used by the SimoSNAP routine to determine the start and stop addresses for the memory dump.
The first copy statement (STSNAPB1.CPY) should be the first statement in the COBOL Working Storage Section. The second copy statement (STSNAPB2.CPY) should be the last statement in the COBOL Working Storage Section.
WORKING STORAGE.
*The following should be the first statement in Working Storage.
COPY STSNAPB1
*...
*The User's Working Storage Definitions go here...
*...
*The following should be the last statement in Working Storage.
COPY STSNAPB2.
Note: The copy files insert sixteen (16) byte literals as the first and last fields in the Working Storage Section. The source code may be viewed in The Copy File section of this document.
The coding to do the actual call to display and/or log the file status information is as follows.

call 'SIMOSNAP' using STSNAP-START STSNAP-CEASE
The programs in this packet were created and tested on an intel system with Microsoft Windows/XP and Micro Focus Net Express. The source code and executables are Windows Command files and COBOL programs.
This packet uses members that are part of The SimoMODS Series of callable programs. Therefore, the SimoMODS packet should be installed prior to running this packet of programs. The required prerequisite programs from the SimoMODS Series are SimoNOTE.CMD, SimoEXEC.EXE, SimoLOGS.DLL and SimoSNAP.DLL.
The following is the Windows Command file (CBSNAPE1.CMD) that is required to run as a job on a PC using Micro Focus Net Express.

rem * to change when porting programs across systems with differing
rem * configurations.

This program (SIMOSNAP.CBL) was originally written to be used as a diagnostic aid for SimoTime consultants and programmers. Today, this program is used by a number of our customers as a diagnostic aid for programming debugging or for tracking the results of program behavior in both a development and production environment. The program has been tested on Windows/XP system with Net Express from Micro Focus.
You may click here to view the source code for the callable snap dump routine
Two copy files are provided to define the "eye-catcher" fields in the COBOL Working Storage Section. The copy statements will create fields that will be used by the SimoSNAP routine to determine the start and stop addresses for the memory dump.
The first copy statement (STSNAPB1.CPY) should be the first statement in the COBOL Working Storage Section. This copy file will create a sixteen (16) byte literal that may be used as an eye-catcher when viewing the memory dump. This literal is used by the SimoSNAP routine to validate the start of the COBOL Working Storage Section.

The hexadecimal dump of the parameter-buffer uses the same technique as describe in another SimoTime example that describes the dumping of a data string using COBOL. The name of the member that does the actual hexadecimal dump is called SimoDUMP. A copy file (PASSDUMP.CPY) is provided for defining the pass area.
The SimoZAPS Utility Program has the capability of generating a COBOL program that will do the conversion of sequential and VSAM (KSDS) files between EBCDIC and ASCII. SimoZAPS can also read a sequential file in EBCDIC format and create an ASCII/CRLF file or VSAM KSDS file in ASCII format. The conversion tables may be viewed or modified to meet unique requirements. The Hexcess/2 function provides the capability of viewing, finding or patching the contents of a file in hexadecimal.

Founded in 1987, SimoTime Enterprises is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. This includes the smallest thin client using the Internet and the very large mainframe systems. There is more to making the Internet work for your company's business than just having a nice looking WEB site. It is about combining the latest technologies and existing technologies with practical business experience. It's about the business of doing business and looking good in the process. Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com.
