Introduction
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This document provides a listing of the COBOL source code for viewing. Additional information about this program may be obtained by sending an e-mail to: helpdesk@simotime.com

The objective of the right-adjust, zero-fill routine is to create a numeric field that will contain all digits with leading zeroes in the leftmost positions and be properly aligned to the units position. If the requirement is to right-justify, left-justify or center a text string within a field with the appropriate leading and/or trailing space characters then refer to the text-justification routine (or simojust.htm).

SimoRA12, What It Does
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoRA12 routine (or callable program) will right-adjust the digits and zero-fill the left-most (or high-order) bytes with leading zeroes. For example, if a value of 123 is passed to the SimoRA12 routine the following will be returned in the pass area.

********************************************************************
RIGHTADJ 123
Right Adjusted Value......... 000000000123
RC=0000, Value is Numeric

SimoRA12, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following will right-adjust the digits and zero-fill the left-most (or high-order) bytes with leading zeroes.

           MOVE X'RIGHTADJ'    to RA12-REQUEST
           MOVE '123         ' to RA12-BUFFER
           CALL 'SIMORA12'  using RA12-PASS-AREA

In the preceding example the contents of RA12-PASS-AREA will be '000000000123' upon return from the call to SIMORA12.

A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SimoRA12. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.

       WORKING STORAGE.
       ...
       ...
       COPY PASSRA12.

The callable right-adjust routine will accept a string of numbers up to twelve (12) digits. A Working Storage data structure for calling the SIMORA12 routine is required. A copy file (PASSRA12.CPY) is provided with the following fields defined.

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.
