Introduction

This Job Script will describe and demonstrate how to access or manipulate Bytes or Bits within a data string using COBOL programs.

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.

Objective: The technical objective for this Job Script is to execute a series of job steps that do byte and bit processing of data strings.

Test Cases for Byte and Bit Processing of Data Strings

Color Associations: The light-green boxes are unique to SIMOTIME Technologies using an IBM Mainframe System or Micro Focus Enterprise Developer. The light-red boxes are unique to the SIMOTIME Technologies using a Linux, UNIX or Windows System and COBOL Technologies such as Micro Focus. The light-yellow boxes are SIMOTIME Technologies, Third-party Technologies, decision points or program transitions in the processing logic or program generations. The light-blue boxes identify the input/output data structures such as Documents, Spreadsheets, Data Files, VSAM Data Sets, Partitioned Data Set Members (PDSM's) or Relational Tables. The light-gray boxes identify a system function or an informational item.

Job Flow Overview

The following describes the Job Scripts and Programs that are used to access or manipulate Bytes or Bits within a data string using COBOL programs.

1.	Execute Function Test 01, Do horizontal alignment (or text justification) of a text string within a data buffer.

1.1.	Call a Job Script (CBLJUSE2.cmd) that will create the test data.

1.2.	Call a Job Script (CBLJUSE1.cmd) that will execute the program that does text alignment.

1.3.	Validate the results by running a generated data file compare program.

2.	Execute Function Test 02, Do a Right-Adjust with Zero-Fill of a numeric value.

2.1.	Call a Job Script that will create the test data

2.2.	Call a Job Script that will execute the program that does right-adjust, zero-fill.

2.3.	Validate the results by running a generated data file compare program.

3.	Execute Function Test 03, do bit manipulation using a COBOL program.

3.1.	Call a Job Script that will execute the program. Note: the test data is included within the program.

3.2.	Validate the results by running a generated data file compare program.

4.	Execute Function Test 04, Convert a text string of digits to a text string of words.

4.1.	Call a Job Script that will create the test data.

4.2.	Call a Job Script that will execute the program that will do a digits to words conversion.

4.3.	Validate the results by running a generated data file compare program.

Function Testing

The following is an overview of the function tests that are performed by this Job Script.

1.	Position as text string within a data buffer using left, right or center justification.

2.	Do a right-justify with zero-fill of a numeric string of digits.

3.	Perform Bit manipulation within a byte of data.

4.	Convert a string of digits to a string of words.

Note: The preceding tests will execute COBOL programs that are replacements for High-Level Assembler (HLASM) programs that were in use on an IBM Mainframe System.

The following provides additional detail about each of the function tests that are performed by this Job Script.

Horizontal Alignment of Text String

This function test will position as text string within a data buffer. The positioning within the data buffer may be left, right or center justified.

Explore How to Center, Left or Right Justify a text string within a field using a COBOL program. This suite of programs includes Job Scripts to create test data and execute the COBOL programs. The Job Scripts include JCL Members for an IBM Mainframe System, CMD Files for a Windows System and Bash Script Files for a Linux or UNIX System.

Right-Adjust, Zero-Fill

This function test will right-justify a string of digits within a data buffer. The leading space characters will be converted to zeroes.

Explore How to Right Justify with Zero Fill for a string of digits within a numeric field using a COBOL program.

Bit Manipulation

This function test will access or modify bits within a byte of data..

Explore Bit Manipulation using a COBOL program calling COBOL to do the accessing of individuals bits within a byte.

Digits to Words

This function test will convert a string of digits to a string of words.

Explore How to create an English-oriented text data string from a numeric field of digits. This example reads a data string (or field) containing numbers and creates a data string (or field) of words.

Technical Details

The following provides an in-depth look at the Job Scripts used by this suite of test cases

Primary Job Script

The following (RTW001W1.cmd) is the primary Job Script that is used for regression testing.

Ancillary Functionality

This section provides additional detail about the CMD files and programs that are used to support this set of sample programs.

Explore How to use Common or Shared Routines that perform repetitive tasks in a consistent manner. This link will provide information about setting common environment variables and many other utilitarian tasks.

Set the Environment

A command file (ENV1BASE.cmd) is called from other command files to set commonly used environment variables. This provides a single point of definition. The following is a listing of the contents of the command file.

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
