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

This example uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to INSERT rows into a table of a relational data base. This example will read a VSAM, Keyed-Sequential-Data-Set (KSDS) to obtain the data that will be loaded into the table. In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This suite of programs is provided as a COBOL programming example of one of the possible solutions.

The hexadecimal dump of the parameter-buffer uses the same technique as describe in another SimoTime example that describes the dumping of a data string using COBOL. The name of the member that does the actual hexadecimal dump is called SimoDUMP. A copy file (PASSDUMP.CPY) is provided for defining the pass area.

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.

This item will provide a link to  an ASCII or EBCDIC translation table. A column for decimal, hexadecimal and binary is also included.

The example for Create a Table uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to create a data base for the item information.

The example for Update Table Information uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to update data in an existing row or insert data into a new row using a unique primary key.

The example for Sequential Processing uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to insert data into a table of an existing data base.

The example for Delete a Table uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to delete a data base for the item information.
