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

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

SimoPL80, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoPL80 program provides an easy to use, callable routin for accessing or writing records to a line sequential file with a maximum record length of 80-bytes.

SimoPL80, 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 PL80-FILE-REQUEST
           move ZERO       to PL80-FILE-STATUS
           move SPACES     to PL80-PASS-80
           call 'SIMOPL80' using PL80-PASS-AREA

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

           call 'SIMOPL80' using PL80-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 write the first record. Subsequent calls will write a logical record from the buffer. The file status code is returned as a four-byte numeric value based on the results of the write request.

The following is a list of the parameters required when using the PL80-PASS-AREA to call the SimoPL80 routine.

Parameter  Description
PL80-PASS-REQUEST  This parameter must be provided by the calling program.
Keyword Description
WRITE  Put or Write a logical record to a Line Sequential (or ASCII/TEXT) file.
OPEN  OPen a file for OUTPUT in preparation for writing to the file.
CLOSE  Close the file.
PL80-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.
PL80-PASS-80  This parameter will contain the logical record for a WRITE request.

The following is the copy statement used in the LINKAGE section of the SIMOPL80 callable routine.

       COPY PASSGL80.

SimoPL80, Setting Environment Variables
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following are environment variables used by the SimoPL80 Write routine for Line Sequential files with a maximum record length of 80-bytes.

Variable  Description
PUT080LS  This is the drive:directory\filename.ext for the output file. This will map the DD name to the fully qualified PC file name. For example:
SET PUT080LS=C:\MYDIRECTORY\MYFILE.DAT
