Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section SimoDATE, What It Does

The SimoDATE routine (or callable program) will validate, edit and convert a given date in the ccyymmdd format into various other formats. For example, if the date of 20000401 (or April 1, 2000) is passed to the SimoDATE routine the following will be returned in the pass area.

Gregorian Date .............. 20000401
Edited Gregorian Date ....... 2000-04-01
Text for the Date............ April 1, 2000
Julian Date ................. 2000092
Days remaining in the year .. 274
Leap Year Flag (Y or N) ..... Y
Days in the Month ........... 30
Text for the Month .......... April

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section SimoDATE, How To Use

The following will validate, edit and convert the date of April 4, 2000.

           MOVE X'EDITDATE'    to STD-REQUEST
           MOVE '20000401'     to STD-GREGORIAN-4-EDIT
           CALL 'SIMODATE'  using STD-SIMODATE

A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SimoDATE. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.

      * STD-DATE-VERBAGE     - This field is used for the date in text
      *                        format. For example, 19991225 will
      *                        produce a text string of

      * STD-DATE-EDIT-BYTE   - This field contains the character that

      * STD-DATE-EDITED      - This field if for the edited date using

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Summary

This document provides a listing of the COBOL source code for the callable routine SIMODATE. This document may be used as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.

In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.

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
