Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Overview of Numeric Formats

This section provides an overview of the most commonly used numeric formats with links for additional detailed information and white papers.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Binary Format

This document describes the binary format. This numeric field format is coded in COBOL as "USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL" and is usually coded in its abbreviated form of COMP. This may also be coded with the keyword BINARY.

For additional detail refer to the Binary Field Format documentation available on the SimoTime web site.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Packed Decimal Format

This document describes the packed-decimal format. This numeric field format is coded in COBOL as "USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL-3" and is usually coded in its abbreviated form of COMP-3.

For additional detail refer to the Packed-Decimal Field Format documentation available on the SimoTime web site.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Zoned Decimal Format

This document describes the zoned-decimal format. This numeric field type is coded in COBOL as "USAGE IS DISPLAY" and is the default format if the USAGE clause is missing.

For additional detail refer to the Zoned-Decimal Field Format documentation available on the SimoTime web site.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Edited Numeric Format

This document describes the edited numeric format. This is coded in COBOL using an "edit mask" in the picture clause. An example would be PIC ZZZ.99+.

For additional detail refer to the Edited-Numeric Field Format documentation available on the SimoTime web site.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section The Micro Focus Environment

Management (i.e. processing, storage and retrieval) of the various numeric formats has been and continues to be a challenge on the mainframe. When transferring data files that contain the various numeric formats from the Mainframe to a Windows or UNIX platform the challenges are transferred along with the files.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Compiler Directives

Micro Focus (on the Windows, Linux and UNIX platforms) offers a number of COBOL compiler directives to help deal with the challenges of managing the various numeric formats.

The sequence in which the directives are specified is also important since some directives will set other directives. For example, the DIALECT directive that specifies a mainframe dialect will set CHARSET(EBCDIC). If the desired encoding is ASCII then the CHARSET(ASCII) directive must follow the DIALECT directive.

For additional detail refer to the Compiler Directives for Micro Focus documentation available on the SimoTime web site.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section EBCDIC and ASCII Encoding

When converting data files from a Mainframe EBCDIC-encoded format to a Micro Focus ASCII-encoded file format the packed (or COMP-3) and binary (or COMP) fields do not need to be converted because they are identical in either encoding scheme. The unsigned, zoned decimal is a simple conversion of the digits between EBCDIC and ASCII. The signed, zoned decimal requires special conversion for the units (or signed) position. This is explained in more detail in a separate document.

For additional detail refer to the Zoned Decimal Format section within this document

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Developer & Microsoft Visual Studio

Micro Focus Enterprise Developer provides a program development and support environment for COBOL-oriented applications that uses the Microsoft Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Explore The Micro Focus Web Site for more information about products (including Micro Focus COBOL) and services available from Micro Focus. This link requires an Internet Connection.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Mainframe Subsystem Support

Micro Focus Studio provides a Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS) configuration option that provides a user with the capability of moving an application that is currently running in a JES/2 or CICS environment on a mainframe to a Windows, Linux or UNIX system.

Explore The Enterprise System Model for additional information about defining, creating and managing the Environments, Processes, Functions and Data that are needed (required) to expand the platform flexibility and allow a business application currently running on a mainframe system to run on a Windows, UNIX or Linux system using Micro Focus Server Enterprise Edition.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Managing Numeric Fields

This section provides links to sample programs that process, convert, print or export numeric data items that are stored in a variety of formats.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Internal Numeric Structures

This suite of example programs will describe the various numeric formats and their internal structures. The examples will also show how numeric fields may be converted from one format to another in preparation for printing, displaying or exporting to a non-mainframe or non-COBOL environment. The COBOL programs are written using the COBOL/2 dialect but also work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370.

Review the Documentation for this suite of program members. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Right-Adjust and Zero-Fill

This suite of programs provides an example of a routine that will Right-Adjust a text string within a field and fill the left-most or high-order bytes with zeroes. The resulting field is also tested for numeric values and a return code (RA12-RESPOND) is set to zero (0) if numeric and eight (8) if not numeric. Two COBOL programs are provided. The first program is a demonstration program that reads a file containing "RIGHTADJ-info" records and calls the second COBOL program that actually does the right-adjust, zero-fill processing. The COBOL programs are written using the COBOL/2 dialect but also work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370.

Review the Documentation for this suite of program members. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Commonly Used Formats and Sizes

This suite of example programs will describe the use, format and size of some of the commonly used numeric fields of the COBOL programming language. This example also illustrates how to redefine a numeric field and how to display the actual hexadecimal content of a numeric field. The COBOL programs are written using the COBOL/2 dialect but also work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370.

Review the Documentation for this suite of program members. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Testing or Scanning

This program suite provides an example of how a COBOL program can test a numeric field for a numeric value or scan a numeric field using reference modification. An example of doing an arithmetic compare of two numeric values of different numeric formats and size is included. The COBOL programs are written using the COBOL/2 dialect but also work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370.

Review the Documentation for this suite of program members. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Printing and Editing

This suite of example programs will describe how to prepare various numeric fields (i.e. packed or COMP-3, binary or COMP and signed, zoned decimal or USAGE IS DISPLAY) for printing. The COBOL programs are written using the COBOL/2 dialect but also work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370.

Review the Documentation for this suite of program members. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Leading Spaces and Zeroes

This suite of example programs (COBOL, JCL and CMD files) will describe the process to compile and execute a COBOL program that is downloaded from a mainframe. The challenge with this program is that it is expected to process the various numeric items in the same manner as the mainframe. For example, a zoned-decimal field that contains leading spaces should not cause an ABEND (i.e. 163 error on Micro Focus) but should treat the leading spaces as zeroes and complete the arithmetic calculation. The COBOL programs are written using the COBOL/2 dialect but also work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370.

Review the Documentation for this suite of program members. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.

We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.

Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.

Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.
