Introduction
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This document provides a listing of the COBOL source code for a callable routine that provide read access to a Record Sequential file. This program is included in the SimoCARD suite of programs.

SimoGR80, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoGR80 program provides an easy to use, callable routine for accessing or reading records from a record sequential file with a fixed record length of 80-bytes.

SimoGR80, Preparing the Pass Area & the Call Interface
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following is an example of how to initialize the pass area and then sequentially read records from the file. The Gx80 notation would be replaced with GR80 for Record Sequential files and GL80 for Line Sequential files.

           move 'OPEN    ' to GR80-FILE-REQUEST
           move ZERO       to GR80-FILE-STATUS
           move SPACES     to GR80-PASS-80
           call 'SIMOGL80' using GR80-PASS-AREA

The following is an example of a call statement for the callable routine.

           call 'SIMOGR80' using GR80-PASS-AREA

It is not necessary to do an explicit open of the file. The first call to the routine will open the file and read the first record. Subsequent calls will return a logical record in the buffer. When a call results in an end of file condition the routine will close the file. The file status code is returned with a value of 0010 for end-of-file.

      *!   PASSGR80 - End-of-Copy File...

The following is a list of the parameters required when using the GR80-PASS-AREA to call the SimoGR80 routine.

Parameter  Description
GR80-PASS-REQUEST  This parameter must be provided by the calling program.
Keyword Description
READ  Get a logical record from a mainframe formatted sequential file with variable length records.
OPEN  or INPUT will open the file for read access only..
CLOSE  Close the file.
GR80-PASS-STATUS  A zero (0) value indicates a successful completion of the request. A non-zero value indicates the request could not be completed successfully.
GR80-PASS-80  This parameter will contain the logical record for a READ request.

The following is the copy statement used in the LINKAGE section of the SIMOGR80 callable routine.

       COPY PASSGR80.

SimoGR80, Setting Environment Variables
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following are environment variables used by the SimoGR80 read routine for mainframe formatted files with fixed-length records of 80-bytes.

Variable  Description
GET080RS  This is the drive:directory\filename.ext for the input file. This will map the DD name to the fully qualified PC file name. For example:
SET GET080RS=C:\MYDIRECTORY\MYFILE.DAT
