This suite of sample programs describes how to convert an EBCDIC encoded VSAM Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS) to an ASCII encoded VSAM Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS). The SimoTime Utility program is used to accomplish this task. The utility program does not actually do the conversion. It generates two (2) COBOL programs that are capable of doing both file format and file content conversion.
The first program does the File I/O (i.e. file format conversion) of reading the EBCDIC encoded Customer Master File and writing the new ASCII encoded Customer Master File. The File I/O program calls the second program (i.e. file content conversion) to do the EBCDIC to ASCII conversion of the records within the file. The COBOL programs were generated by SimoTime technology using a COBOL copy file that defines the record layout.. The generation of the programs is done on a Windows system running Micro Focus COBOL. However, since the generated COBOL source code is COBOL/390 compliant it may be compiled and executed on an IBM Mainframe, a Windows system with Micro Focus or a UNIX system with Micro Focus.
Note: For the Micro Focus environment the programs are normally compiled using a Mainframe dialect using he CHARSET(EBCDIC) or CHARSET(ASCII) compiler directives. If the programs are compiled using a non-Mainframe dialect the IBMCOMP directive must be used since the customer master file used in this example contains binary (or COMP) fields.
The term Mainframe-Oriented refers to an actual IBM Mainframe, Micro Focus Mainframe Express or Micro Focus Enterprise Server with the Mainframe Transaction Option and the Batch Facility. The following (CUSE2AJ1.JCL) is a listing of the JCL member needed to run this job.

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.
This item will provide a link to an ASCII or EBCDIC translation table. A column for decimal, hexadecimal and binary is also included.
Check out The VSAM - QSAM Connection for more examples of mainframe VSAM and QSAM accessing techniques and sample code.
This document provides a quick summary of the File Status Key for VSAM data sets and QSAM files.
