This is an example of how a COBOL program can read an EBCDIC, VSAM Keyed-Sequential-Data-Set and write an EBCDIC sequential file. The COBOL source code was generated using SimoZAPS, a product of SimoTime Enterprises. The SimoZAPS utility program also has the capability of reading, writing or converting between other file formats.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This program is provided as a COBOL example of one of the possible solutions to the problem of changing the contents and structure of data files.
This program will read an EBCDIC, VSAM Keyed-Sequential-Data-Set and write to an EBCDIC sequential file.
The following is the content of the KSESQEM1.BAT file that was used to create the COBOL source code. This process uses the SimoZAPS utility program to do the actual program generation.
@echo OFF echo * echo * This process will read the KSESQET1.TXT file and create the echo * KSESQEC1.CBL file using the SYSMASK1.TXT as a mask. echo * The KSESQET1.TXT file is expected to contains the specifications echo * for reading an INDEXED, 512-byte maximum record length, variable, echo * EBCDIC file with the key position at 1 for a key length of 12 and echo * creating a SEQUENTIAL, 512-byte, fixed, EBCDIC file. echo * echo * KSESQEM1 Starting the GENERATE function of SimoZAPS set syscntl=KSESQET1.txt set sysmask=sysmask1.txt set syscobol=KSESQEC1.CBL type %syscntl% simozaps GENERATE echo * KSESQEM1 SYSCOBOL is %syscobol% echo * KSESQEM1 SYSCNTL is %syscntl% echo * KSESQEM1 The SYSCOBOL is displayed in a separate window, echo * KSESQEM1 to continue... close the SYSCOBOL window. notepad %syscobol% echo * KSEASQEM1 Thank you for using the GENERATE function by SimoTime Enterprises
The KSESQET1.TXT file contains the specifications used by the preceding batch file. The content of the KSESQET1.TXT specifications file is as follows.
*********************************************************************** * SYSUT1 should be an INDEXED, 512-byte, variable, EBCDIC content * * with key position at 1 for a key length of 12. * * SYSUT2 should be an SEQUENTIAL, 512-byte, fixed, EBCDIC content. * * * * The DIALECT statement specifies the use of COBOL/2 compliant code * * for the generated conversion program. * * * * The TransINIT statement will initialize the SYSUT2 record to X'40' * * or an EBCDIC SPACE character. This is especially useful when the * * output record length for SYSUT2 is greater than the input record * * length of SYSUT1. The hex value is used since the generated program * * could run on the PC or the mainframe. * *********************************************************************** /Dialect C2 /VSAMload Sequential /progid KSESQEC1 /sysut1 name=KSEDB512 org=indexed recfm=variable rlen=512 kpos=1 klen=12 /sysut2 name=SQEDB512 org=sequential recfm=fixed rlen=512 * /transmode E2E /transinit X'40' /transcopy from pos 001 len 092 to pos 001 len 092 * /END
The following is the source code for the file conversion. This program was compiled and tested on the PC using Mainframe Express (with the non-mainframe dialect) and Net Express (refer to http://www.microfocus.com ). Since the organization of the input file (SYSUT1) is specified as LINE SEQUENTIAL (the Micro Focus terminology for ASCII Text files) this program will not compile or execute on the mainframe.

Take a look at the Table of ASCII and EBCDIC values.
The SimoZAPS Utility Program runs on a Windows platform and 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 Keyed Sequential Data Set in ASCII format. The conversion tables may be viewed or modified to meet unique requirements. The Hexcess/2 function of SimoZAPS provides the capability of viewing, finding or patching the contents of a file in hexadecimal.
Check out The COBOL Connection for more examples of mainframe COBOL coding techniques and sample code.
Check out The VSAM-QSAM Connection in the SimoTime Library for more examples of mainframe COBOL techniques and sample code.
This document provides a quick summary of the File Status Key for VSAM data sets and QSAM files. The File Status Key is a two character data item. The first character of the status key is known as status key 1; the second character is known as status key 2.
