Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This job will execute a program that will read an existing line sequential file with a record structure that uses a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. Next, the primary program will call a second program to convert or translate the record content from CSV to FFL (Fixed Field Length) format. Next, the primary program will write the record to a new record sequential file. The primary COBOL program does the file Input and Output and calls a second COBOL program to do the record content conversion. Each record in the Output file is a data structure that contains a mixture of binary, numeric and text strings. This document will describe and demonstrate the conditional processing of individual string types within a data structure based on the string definitions within a COBOL copy file. The programs were generated using SimoTime technology.

An EBCDIC encoding schema is used to store user data on an IBM Mainframe System. An ASCII encoding schema is used to store user data on a Linux, UNIX or Windows (LUW) System.

This test case will require the following data conversion tasks.

1. File Format Conversion
1.1. Read a Line Sequential File and write to a Record Sequential File.
2. Record Format Conversion
2.1. Convert records from a variable length, CSV format to a fixed length record containing a group of concatenated data strings of a fixed field length.
3. String or Field Format Conversion
3.1. Bypass the EBC/ASC conversion process for Binary data strings.
3.2. Convert numeric values from the CSV, Display format to a Binary (COMP), Packed Decimal (COMP-3) or a Zoned Decimal format.
3.3. Convert text string between EBC and ASC.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Batch Job Scripts

This section describes the batch job scripts that are used to create test data files. A Job Script will identify and allocate resources (data files, memory, work areas, control information, etc.) for the Job or Job Step and execute programs that will process, access or utilize the allocated resources.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Windows CMD Files

This section describes the Windows Command Files (or Job Scripts) that are used to create test files. The records contain text fields that may be ASCII or EBCDIC encoded and numeric values that are defined as binary, packed-decimal or zoned-decimal.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Create Test Files

This job uses one (1) Primary Input File and will produce two (2) Output Files.

1. Take ASC/CSV File, This is a Line Sequential (LSEQ) File that may be referred to as an ASCII/Text File.
1.1. The record format is variable length.
1.2. The record content is ASCII encoded and is all display text data. The records contain concatenated, variable length text strings (or fields) separated by a delimiter character. The delimiter character for this file is a comma.
1.3. The Signed numeric values may have a trailing sign character. If the sign character is missing the numeric value will be treated as a positive value.
2. Make ASC File, This is a Record Sequential (RSEQ) File that contains binary, numeric and text data strings.
2.1. The record content is a group of concatinated data strings (or fields)of a user-defined fixed field length.
2.2. The text strings are ASCII encoded.
2.3. Numeric values are stored in a variety of formats and may be signed or unsigned. The numeric strings within a record are formatted in accordance with their field definitions as defined in a user supplied COBOL Copy File. Each numeric data string will need to be evaluated and processed based on its unique definition.
2.3.1. The Binary Format of a numeric value is specified in COBOL as USAGE is BINARY, or USAGE is COMPUTATIONAL or USAGE is COMP).
2.3.1.1. The Binary Format is independent of an EBCDIC or ASCII encoding schema.
2.3.1.2. The numeric, binary strings within a record may contain values from x'00' to x'FF'.
2.3.2. The Packed Decimal Format of a numeric value is specified in COBOL as USAGE is COMPUTATIONAL-3 or USAGE is COMP-3).
2.3.2.1. The Packed Decimal Format is independent of an EBCDIC or ASCII encoding schema.
2.3.3. The Zoned Decimal Format of a numeric value is specified in COBOL as USAGE is DISPLAY.
2.3.3.1. The Zoned Decimal Format is sensitive to the EBCDIC or ASCII encoding schema.
3. Make EBC File, This is a Record Sequential (RSEQ) File that contains binary, numeric and text data strings.
3.1. The record content is a group of concatinated data strings (or fields)of a user-defined fixed field length.
3.2. The text strings are EBCDIC encoded.
3.3. Numeric values are stored in a variety of formats and may be signed or unsigned. The numeric strings within a record are formatted in accordance with their field definitions as defined in a user supplied COBOL Copy File. Each numeric data string will need to be evaluated and processed based on its unique definition.
3.3.1. The Binary Format of a numeric value is specified in COBOL as USAGE is BINARY, or USAGE is COMPUTATIONAL or USAGE is COMP).
3.3.1.1. The Binary Format is independent of an EBCDIC or ASCII encoding schema.
3.3.1.2. The numeric, binary strings within a record may contain values from x'00' to x'FF'.
3.3.2. The Packed Decimal Format of a numeric value is specified in COBOL as USAGE is COMPUTATIONAL-3 or USAGE is COMP-3).
3.3.2.1. The Packed Decimal Format is independent of an EBCDIC or ASCII encoding schema.
3.3.3. The Zoned Decimal Format of a numeric value is specified in COBOL as USAGE is DISPLAY.
3.3.3.1. The Zoned Decimal Format is sensitive to the EBCDIC or ASCII encoding schema.

 

 

The following describes the job steps or the sequence of events for the batch job that creates test data.

1. Step 1 of 4, Prepare the System and Job environment.
1.1. Call ENVBASE1.cmd to set the system environment variables.
1.2. Use Windows SET statement to map the file names.
2. Step 2 of 4, Read ASCII/Text file, write to a Record Sequential File.
2.1. Convert record content from CSV to FFL with Binary, Packed-Decimal and Zoned Decimal numeric formats.
2.2. The records in the output file will retain the ASCII encoding.
3. Step 3 of 4, Both the input and output files are Record Sequential Files.
3.1. Read ASCII encoded records, write EBCDIC encoded records.
3.2. Convert record content from EBCDIC to ASCII on a field level basis based on the definitions contained within a user-defined COBOL Copy File.
4. Step 4 of 4, End of Job processing.

rem  * Text   - Convert ASC file with binary, numeric & text to EBC.
rem  * Author - SimoTime Technologies
rem  * Date   - January 24, 1996
rem  *
rem  * This job will execute a program that will read an existing record
rem  * sequential, EBCDIC-encoded file, convert the record content and
rem  * write to a new record sequential, ASCII-encoded file while
rem  * maintaining binary and numeric integrity.
rem  *
rem  * The first COBOL program does the file Input and Output and calls
rem  * a second COBOL program to do the record content conversion
rem  * between EBCDIC and ASCII. Each record in the Input file is a
rem  * data structure that contains a mixture of binary, numeric and
rem  * text strings.

      * This program was created with the SYSMASK1.TXT file as input. *
      * The SYSMASK1 provides for the sequential reading of the input *
      * file and the sequential writing of the output file.           *
      *                                                               *
      * If the output file is indexed then the input file must be in  *
      * sequence by the field that will be used to provide the key    *
      * for the output file. This is a sequential load process.       *
      *                                                               *
      * If the key field is not in sequence then refer to SYSMASK2    *
      * to provide for a random add or update of the indexed file.    *

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Summary

This job will execute a program that will read an existing line sequential file with CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, convert or translate the record content from CSV to FFL (Fixed Field Length) foramt and write to the new record sequential file while translating and maintaining binary and numeric integrity. The first COBOL program does the file Input and Output and calls a second COBOL program to do the record content conversion. Each record in the Output file is a data structure that contains a mixture of binary, numeric and text strings. This document may be used to assist as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.

In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.

We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.

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. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.

Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.
