Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This program is used to show techniques for analyzing and testing the content of numeric fields. Each byte within a numeric field will be accessed using Reference Modification. The program shows the content of a field in HEX-Dump format. Two techniques are used to produce HEX-Dump information.

1. At the start and end of program execution a call is made to SIMOSNAP to dump the content of WORKING-STORAGE.
2. A perform of the "CONVERT-BYTE-TO-HEX-DISPLAY" paragraph is used to dump the content of a single field

 


We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Basic Functionality

This section will provide a quick review of numeric formats.

The sample program starts by defining one Alpha-Numeric field and three Numeric fields in WORKING STORAGE.

           05  TXT-X-016         pic X(16) value 'Part-1,  Part-2 '.
           05  ZDU-5-V-2         pic 99999V99    value 7.98.
           05  BNU-4-V-0         pic 9(7)        COMP    value 4671.
           05  PKU-4-V-0         pic 9(7)        COMP-3  value 123.

The primary CMD Files will call other command files to perform ancillary tasks. These secondary command files and programs will be described in the Ancillary Functions section of this document.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Simple Alpha-Numeric Field

The TXT-X-016 field is defined as follows.

           05  TXT-X-016         pic X(16) value 'Part-1,  Part-2 '.

This is an Alpha-Numeric Field. The ENTCOBOL Compiler directive is used and bytes within the field may be accessed using Reference Modification. The data string may contain embedded HEX characters. Since the USAGE clause is missing then USAGE IS DISPLAY is implied.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Zoned Decimal Unsigned Field

The ZDU-5-V-2 field is defined as follows.

           05  ZDU-5-V-2         pic 99999V99    value 7.98.

This is a numeric Field. The ENTCOBOL Compiler directive is used and bytes within the field may be accessed using Reference Modification. When there is no explicit USAGE clause, it defaults to USAGE IS DISPLAY.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Binary Unsigned Field

The BNU-4-V-0 field is defined as follows.

           05  BNU-4-V-0         pic 9(7)        COMP    value 4671.

The program that uses this field definition is compiled with the IBMCOMP and NOTRUNC directives.

The IBMCOMP directive sets "word-storage" mode. In word-storage mode every data item of USAGE IS COMP occupies either two bytes or a multiple of four bytes. The PIC 9(7) COMP field would only require a three (3) byte physical memory allocation. However, since we are using the IBMCOMP directive the actual physical length will be four (4) bytes (this is compatible with the IBM Mainframe).

The TRUNC directive specifies whether data being stored into a USAGE IS COMP item is to be truncated to the size given by the item's PICTURE clause or to the maximum size the item can hold. The NOTRUNC will not truncate to the picture size but will allow the arithmetic value to be the maximum size the item can hold which is x'FFFFFFFF" or 4,294,967,295 for an unsigned number.

Also, for COMP fields the units position of the arithmetic value is at the high-memory address.

Note:  The ENTCOBOL dialect will post an error if Reference Modification access is attempted on a field that is not designated as USAGE IS DISPLAY.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Packed Unsigned Field

A packed decimal representation stores two decimal digits in one byte. A packed decimal representation stores decimal digits in each "nibble" of a byte. Each byte has two nibbles, and each nibble is indicated by a hexadecimal digit. For example, the value 23 would be stored in two nibbles, using the hexadecimal digits 2 and 3. The sign indication is dependent on your operating environment. On an IBM mainframe, the sign is indicated by the last nibble of the last byte (or high memory address). For explicitly signed fields the "C" indicates a positive value and "D" indicates a negative value. For unsigned (or implied positive) fields the "F" indicates a positive value.

The PKU-4-V-07 field is defined as follows.

           05  PKU-4-V-0         pic 9(7)        COMP-3  value 123.

The following shows the COBOL group definition of the data structure that contains the three numeric fields.

      *                  with a designation of USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL

      * NBRTSTC2 - Analyze a numeric field.
      *
      * DESCRIPTION
      * -----------
      * This program is used to show techniques for analyzing and
      * testing the content of numeric fields. Each byte within a
      * numeric field will be accessed using Reference Modification.
      *
      * The program shows the content of a field in HEX-Dump format.
      * Two techniques are used to produce HEX-Dump information.
      *   1. At the start and end of program execution a call is made
      *      to SIMOSNAP to dump the content of WORKING-STORAGE.
      *   2. A perform of the "CONVERT-BYTE-TO-HEX-DISPLAY" paragraph
      *      is used to dump the content of a single field.
      *
      * The COBOL programs are compiled with the ASSIGN(EXTERNAL)
      * directive. This provides for external file mapping of file
      * names.
      *
      * To run with Micro Focus the IBMCOMP and NOTRUNC directives
      * will be required to maintain compatability with the mainframe
      * format and field sizes for binary fields.
      *
      * This program will run on a  Windows System with Micro Focus
      * Enterprise Developer/Server.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Convert One Byte to Two Bytes

The following describes the process for converting one-byte of possible binary data to a two-byte Hex-Dump text string. This example was executed in an ASCII-encoded environment. The following is dependent on the data structure definition for the BIN-4-G field.

1. move LOW-VALUES to BIN-4-G
1.1. This statement initializes BIN-4-G. This is a four (4) byte field defined as an 01 level group item.
1.2. X'00000000' - this is the content of BIN-4-G after the preceding statement is executed.
2. move ONE-BYTE to BIN-4-G(3:1)
2.1. This statement will move one-byte to the 3rd position in the BIN-4-G field. In this example the content of ONE-BYTE is X'3A'.
2.2. X'00003A00' - this is the content of BIN-4-G after the preceding statement is executed.
3. multiply 16 by BIN-4-AXIS giving BIN-4-AXIS
3.1. This statement will shift the content of BIN-4-AXIS to the left by 4 bits.
3.2. X'0003A000' - this is the content of BIN-4-G after the preceding statement is executed.
4. divide BIN-4-EAST by 16 giving BIN-4-EAST
4.1. This statement will shift the content of BIN-4-EAST to the right by 4 bits.
4.2. X'00030A00' - this is the content of BIN-4-G after the preceding statement is executed.
5. inspect BIN-4-G(2:1) converting TAB-BIN to TAB-TXT
5.1. This statement will convert a possible binary value located at the 2nd position of the BIN-4-G field to a display (or text) character.
5.2. X'00300A00' - this is the content of BIN-4-G after the preceding statement is executed.
6. inspect BIN-4-G(3:1) converting TAB-BIN to TAB-TXT
6.1. This statement will convert a possible binary value located at the 3rd position of the BIN-4-G field to a display (or text) character.
6.2. X'00304100' - this is the content of BIN-4-G after the preceding statement is executed.
7. move BIN-4-G(2:2) to HEX-TEXT-2
7.1. This statement will move the characters located at the 2nd and 3rd positions of the BIN-4-G field to the HEX-TEXT-2 field.
7.2. X'3041' - this is the content of HEX-TEXT-2 after the preceding statement is executed.

 

The preceding process is dependent on the following data structure definition.

      *
      * ------------------------------------------------------------- *
      *    The following is used to convert a one-byte binary value
      *    to a two-byte text string of HEX-Dump information.
       01  BIN-4-G.
           05  FILLER          pic X     value LOW-VALUE.
           05  BIN-4-AXIS      pic 9(3)  comp  value 0.
           05  FILLER          pic X     value LOW-VALUE.
       01  BIN-4-G-R1          redefines BIN-4-G.
           05  BIN-4-WEST      pic 9(3)  comp.
           05  BIN-4-EAST      pic 9(3)  comp.

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
