This suite of sample programs describes how to extract data from the Customer Master File. The numeric fields will be expanded (Packed or Binary) and the trailing spaces within the text fields will be truncated. A new record will be constructed with the fields being concatenated and separated by a comma. The newly constructed record will be written to a sequential file. The file may now be transferred from the mainframe to a Windows system using the FIle Transfer Protocol (FTP) and easily imported into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The extract of data by fields within the record and the reformatting of the output records is actually accomplished with two COBOL programs. The first program does the File I/O of reading the Customer Master File and writing reformatted records to a sequential file. The File I/O program calls the second program to do the record formatting that expands the numeric fields and does blank truncation on the text fields and then places a comma between the fields as the field delimiter. The COBOL programs were generated using SimoTime technology.
When running this job on a Mainframe System the output file will be an EBCDIC-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. This file may be downloaded from the mainframe to a Windows system using FTP in ASCII mode. Since the output file is all text it will be properly converted from EBCDIC to ASCII during the file transfer (FTP) process. It will also be converted from a Record-Sequential file to a Line-Sequential file (Micro Focus terminology for ASCII/Text File). The file is now ready to import into Excel.
When running the job on a Windows System with Micro Focus and using EBCDIC encoding the output file will be an EBCDIC-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. Since we no longer use the FTP process to transfer the file we no longer have the benefit of the FTP process doing the file-format and file-content conversion. Therefore, we need an alternative method for doing the file format conversion from record-sequential to line-sequential and the file content conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII. Refer to the File-Format and File-Content Conversion Program for more information.
When running the job on a Windows System with Micro Focus and using ASCII encoding the output file will be an ASCII-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. Since we no longer use the FTP process to transfer the file and we no longer have the benefit of the FTP process doing the file-format conversion (since we are running in an ASCII-encoded configuration the file-content conversion is not a requirement). Therefore, we need an alternative method for doing the file format conversion from record-sequential to line-sequential. Refer to the File-Format Conversion Program for more information.
Note: This document provides a brief oveview of the Micro Focus File Formats available on a Windows or UNIX System.
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 (CUEXTJ01.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.
