SimoHEX4, What It Does
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoHEX4 routine (or callable program) will convert a text string to its hexadecimal value with a display or logging capability. It will also translate the possible printable characters for both ASCII and EBCDIC.

The following is an example of the hexadecimal dump information provided by the sample programs.This information may be displayed to the screen or written to a log file.

In the preceding example the RED lines show the possible ASCII-Text translation and the BLUE lines show the possible EBCDIC-Text translation. The GREEN lines are the hexadecimal dump information.

SimoHEX4, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The coding to do the actual call to display and/or log the hex dump information is as follows.

      *****************************************************************
      *    The coding required to do the call to the Hex-Dump program.
      *    ------------------------------------------------------------
           CALL 'SIMOHEX4' USING SIMOHEX4-PASS-AREA

A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SimoDUMP. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.

       WORKING STORAGE.
       ...
       ...
       COPY PASSHEX4.
       ...

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. SimoZAPScan 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.

This document provides a quick summary of the  File Status Key  for VSAM data sets and QSAM files.
