ASCII/RSEQ to ASCII/Text File Format Conversion |
![]() |
The SimoTime Home Page |
This sample program describes how to do a file-format conversion by reading an ASCII-encoded, record-sequential file (RSEQ) and writing to a new ASCII-encoded, line-sequential file (LSEQ or ASCII/Text file). The program was compiled using a Micro Focus dialect since it writes to a line sequential (LSEQ or ASCII/Text) file. The program was generated using SimoTime technology.
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

The following (R2L256C1.cbl) is a sample of the Micro Focus COBOL demonstration program. This program will not compile or execute on an IBM Mainframe because of the ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL on the SELECT statement. If the statement was changed to read ORGANIZATION IS SEQUENTIAL it would run on an IBM Mainframe and "read from" and "write to" a sequential file. The program was tested using Micro Focus Net Express, version 4.0 running on Windows/2000.

Founded in 1987, SimoTime Technologies 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.
