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.

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).
  Functions to be Described and Demonstrated

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 and Windows/7 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 an IBM Mainframe with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server or Studio.
  Operating Systems and Supporting Software

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.

Note: The  light-green  boxes are unique to the Mainframe and Micro Focus Enterprise Server/Studio (or Micro Focus Mainframe Express). The  light-red  boxes are unique to the PC with Windows and Micro Focus. The  light-yellow  boxes are decision points or program transitions in the processing logic. The  light-blue  boxes identify data structures such as Files, VSAM Data Sets or Relational Tables. The  light-gray  boxes identify a system function or information item.

The CMD Files
(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 (NUMPRTE1.CMD) is used to map file names and execute the sample program. The second command file (Env1BASE.CMD) is used as a common, single point to set environment variables that are used across various applications or sample programs. The third command file (SimoNOTE.CMD) is used to display message to the screen and write to a log file.

CMD Member, Execute the Program
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following is the Windows CMD (NUMPRTE1.CMD) required to run the sample COBOL program. This is a two step job. The first step (identified by the :DeleteQSAM statement) will delete the file that was created from a previous run of this job. The second step (identified by the :CreateQSAM statement) will execute the sample program.

      * 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.

      * 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.                                          *

      * If the key field is not in sequence then refer to SYSMASK2    *
      * to provide for a random add or update of the indexed file.    *

Numeric Type Description
Zoned Decimal  This document describes the zoned-decimal format. This is coded in COBOL as USAGE IS DISPLAY and is the default format if the USAGE clause is missing.
Note: This is the slowest performer and uses the most storage space but is easiest to display on a screen or print to a printer. This encoding scheme may be unsigned (implied positive) or signed. This type of field will require special handling for the sign position when migrating from a mainframe (EBCDIC) to a Micro Focus (ASCII) environment.
Packed Decimal  This document describes the packed-decimal format. This is coded in COBOL as USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL-3 and is usually coded in its abbreviated form of COMP-3.
Note: The mainframe can perform arithmetic functions with this data format at the hardware (or micro-code) level. This type of encoding scheme was primarily used to save storage space. This encoding scheme may be unsigned (implied positive) or signed. When migrating from a mainframe (EBCDIC) to a Micro Focus (ASCII) environment this type of field should be left in its original format since this will be supported in the new environment.
Binary  This document describes the binary format. This is coded in COBOL as USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL and is usually coded in its abbreviated form of COMP. This may also be coded with the keyword BINARY.
Note: This format will save storage space but was primarily used for performance. Register arithmetic uses this format. This encoding scheme may be unsigned (implied positive) or signed. When migrating from a mainframe (EBCDIC) to a Micro Focus (ASCII) environment this type of field should be left in its original format since this will be supported in the new environment.
Edited Numeric  This document describes the edited numeric format. This is coded in COBOL using an edit mask in the picture clause. An example would be PIC ZZZ.99+.
Note: This type of field is used for numbers that are to be displayed or printed and should be all text characters. This filed should be converted using standard conversion tables.
Floating Point  This format is used when a high level of precision is required or very large numbers are required. On the mainframe the default is to use the IBM 370 Floating Point Arithmetic. On Windows or UNIX using Micro Focus the default is to use the IEEE Standard for Floating Point Arithmetic. The IEEE standard provides a higher level of precision than 370. However, 370 provides for larger numbers by providing less precision.
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.
