Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Program Requirements

This suite of samples programs will run on the following platforms.

1 Executes on Windows/XP, Windows/7 and Windows Server using Micro Focus Server or Studio.
2 May be ported to run on the Linux or UNIX platforms supported by Micro Focus COBOL.
3 Executes on an IBM Mainframe System with MVS or a Windows System using Micro Focus Mainframe Express.
  Operating Systems and Supporting Software

Note:  We use Windows/7 with Micro Focus Developer as the primary development and testing system. Once testing is complete in the Windows/7 environment the application is migrated and tested on additional systems.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Program Input and Output

The input is two (2) sequential files and each file contains three (3) records. JCL is included to create the input (this suite of programs uses Partitioned Data Set Members or PDSM's as input). The following shows the content of the PDSM's.

Each record contains four (4) fields. The 1st field contains the letter "R". The 2nd field is a five (5) digit number used as the numerator of a fraction. The 3rd field is a five (5) digit number used as the denominator of a fraction. The 4th field is a number with five digits, six decimal positions and an explicit decimal point. This member is created using all literal values and is used to define the expected results.

R,00001,00008,00000.125000
R,00003,00008,00000.375000
R,00022,00007,00003.142857

Each record contains four (4) fields. The 1st field contains the letter "R". The 2nd field is a five (5) digit number used as the numerator of a fraction. The 3rd field is a five (5) digit number used as the denominator of a fraction. The 4th field is a number with five digits, six decimal positions and an explicit decimal point. This member is created using literal values for the first three fields. The 4th field is set to zeroes and will be replaced with a calculated value or actual result during execution of the job. The calculated results should be equal to the results defined in the preceding step.

R,00001,00008,00000.000000
R,00003,00008,00000.000000
R,00022,00007,00000.000000

The output for this job is two (2) sequential files and each file contains three (3) records. This suite of programs uses GDG Iterations as output. The following shows the content of the GDG Iterations.

The following shows the content of the GDG output. For normal processing the content of the GDG pair should be equal.

R,00001,00008,00000.125000
R,00003,00008,00000.375000
R,00022,00007,00003.142857

Note:  The REVIEWX1 step does a compare of the two GDG Iterations and the results are written to SYSOUT.

      * This program was created with the SYSMASK1.TXT file as input. *
      * The SYSMASK1 provides for the sequential reading of the input *
      * file and the sequential writing of the output file.           *
      *                                                               *
      * If the output file is indexed then the input file must be in  *
      * sequence by the field that will be used to provide the key    *
      * for the output file. This is a sequential load process.       *
      *                                                               *
      * If the key field is not in sequence then refer to SYSMASK2    *
      * to provide for a random add or update of the indexed file.    *
      *                                                               *
      * This program mask will have the ASCII/EBCDIC table inserted   *

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Company Overview

SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. 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.

Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
