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

SimoSUB1, What It Does
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoSUB1 routine (or callable program) will search a field to find a text string (based on a search-value). If a match is found the matching value will be replaced with a new text string (based on a replacement-value). The text strings for the search-value and replacement-value may be different lengths.

SimoSUB1, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following will create a new text string in the target field with the "DEF" replaced by "123".

           MOVE 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' to SUB-BUFFER-SOURCE
           MOVE SPACES to SUB-BUFFER-TARGET
           MOVE 'DEF'  to SUB-SEARCH-STRING
           MOVE '123'  to SUB-REPLACE-STRING
           move 3      to SUB-SEARCH-LENGTH
           move 3      to SUB-REPLACE-LENGTH
           CALL 'SIMOSUB1'  using SUBSTITUTE-PARAMETERS

In the preceding example the contents of SUB-SEARCH-STRING will be 'ABC123GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' upon return from the call to SIMOSUB1.

A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SimoSUB1. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.

       WORKING STORAGE.
       ...
       ...
       COPY PASSSUB1.

The callable search-replace routine will accept a string of numbers up to twelve (12) digits. A Working Storage data structure for calling the SIMOSUB1 routine is required. A copy file (PASSSUB1.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.
