Introduction
[Next] [Previous] [Table-of-Contents]

Printing numeric fields, especially packed-decimal or binary (i.e. COMP-3 or COMP) requires special consideration. Also, signed, zoned-decimal fields will require special consideration. Most numeric fields will require some sort of editing before printing. This suite of programs provides examples of how a COBOL program may be used to properly print (or display) numeric fields.

The COBOL program is written using the IBM COBOL for OS/390 dialect and will also work with IBM Enterprise COBOL. A JCL member is provided to run the job as an MVS batch job on an IBM mainframe or as a project with Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) running on a PC with Windows. A batch or command file is provided to run the job as a Windows batch job on a Wintel platform using Micro Focus Net Express (refer to http://www.microfocus.com).

Programming Objectives
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This example illustrates the following functions.

1. Demonstrate how to print (or display) a packed-decimal (i.e. COMP-3) field.
2. Demonstrate how to perform arithmetic using binary (i.e. COMP) fields and produce a result field that is easily printed (or displayed).

Programming Input and Output
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The input to the sample program is the Item Master file. On the Mainframe this is a VSAM, Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (or KSDS) and with Micro Focus it is a Key-Sequenced or Indexed file. The output will be a printed report showing the item prices and quantity available. The item price is stored in the item master file in a packed-decimal format (i.e. COMP-3). The quantity available is calculated from two fields that are stored in the item master file in a binary (i.e. COMP) format. The quantity-available equals the quantity-on-hand minus the quantity-allocated.

Programming Requirements
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

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

1. Executes on Windows/XP using Micro Focus Net Express and the CMD file provided.
2. May be ported to run on the UNIX platforms supported by Micro Focus COBOL.
3. Executes on a mainframe with OS/390 or Windows/XP using Micro Focus Mainframe Express and the JCL file provided.

Programming Overview
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This program will sequentially read the item master file and build a print line of text from the text fields and numeric fields that are packed and binary formats. Once the print line has been created it will be printed. It is actually written to a sequential file (spooling) that contains print control characters and data.

The following is a block diagram of the table processing demonstration. The BLUE boxes are unique to the mainframe and Micro Focus Mainframe Express. The RED boxes are unique to the PC with Windows and Micro Focus Net Express. The GREEN boxes are platform independent and will execute on the mainframe or a PC with Windows. Also, the GREEN boxes may be ported to a UNIX platform that is supported by Micro Focus COBOL.

The CMD Member
[Next] [Previous] [Table-of-Contents]

Three command files are used to execute this example in the non-mainframe environment on a Windows platform with Micro Focus Net Express or Application Server. The first command file (Env1PROD.CMD) is used as a common, single point to set environment variables that are used across various applications or sample programs. The second command file (SimoNOTE.CMD) is used to display message to the screen and write to a log file. The third command file (NUMPRTE1.CMD) is used to map file names and execute the sample program.

CMD Member, Set The Environment
[Next] [Previous] [Table-of-Contents]

The following Windows command file (Env1PROD.CMD) is used as a common, single point to set environment variables that are used across various applications or sample programs.

      * NUMPRTC1 - Print text and various numeric field formats.
      *
      * DESCRIPTION
      * -----------
      * This set of programs is used to show the various numeric
      * formats and how to edit for printing.
      *
      * This program illustrates the use of some of the commonly
      * used numeric formats such as the display format(actual digits),
      * the packed format (COMP-3) and the binary (COMP) formats.
      *
      * The COBOL programs are compiled with the ASSIGN(EXTERNAL)
      * directive. This provides for external file mapping of file
      * names.
      *
      * When running with Net Express the IBMCOMP an NOTRUNC directives
      * will be required to maintain compatability with the mainframe
      * format and field sizes for binary fields. The filetype(11) and
      * ADV directive will be required to maintain the mainframe print
      * format for the output file.
      *
      * This technique provides for the use of a single COBOL source
      * program that will run on OS/390, Windows or Unix.
      *
      * This program will run on a Personal Computer with Windows
      * and Micro Focus Net Express or Mainframe Express.
      *
      * This program will also run on an IBM Mainframe.

The following chart provides a list of the sample COBOL programs that focus on processing numeric fields.

HTML Tag Description
cblnum01 This is an example of how COBOL can test that a data field contains a valid numeric value. It also illustrates how to redefine a numeric field and then scan the field from left to right testing for a digit in each position.
cblraz01 This suite of programs provides an example of a routine that will Right Adjust (or Right Justify) a text string within a numeric field and fill the left-most or high-order bytes with zeroes.
cbltxn01 This suite of programs provides an example of how a COBOL program calls a COBOL routine to create a 150-character, English-oriented text data string from a 12-digit numeric field. For example, if the numeric field contains 000000001234 then a text string is created with the following information, One-Thousand-Two-Hundred-Thirty-Four
nbrtyp01 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.
number01 This document is an introduction to the various numeric formats used by COBOL and the IBM mainframe systems The session will describe three of the popular numeric formats used with COBOL and IBM Mainframe systems. The discussions include further detail about the issues and concerns of unsigned (or implied positive) numbers, signed (positive or negative) numbers and decimal or whole numbers. A sample of how to convert non-print formats to display or print formats is included along with a sample COBOL program.
numbug01 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. However, a packed-decimal field that contains non-numeric values would issue a S0C7 (referred to as a sock-seven) on the mainframe and should issue a 163 error in the Micro Focus environment.
numprt01 Printing numeric fields, especially packed-decimal or binary (i.e. COMP-3 or COMP) requires special consideration. Also, signed, zoned-decimal fields will require special consideration. Most numeric fields will require some sort of editing before printing. This suite of programs provides examples of how a COBOL program may be used to properly print (or display) numeric fields.
