Introduction
This document provides information about the SimoTXTN routine that converts a numeric value (or digits) to a text string of words. Additional information about this program may be obtained by sending an e-mail to:
helpdesk@simotime.com
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.

What it Does
The SimoTXTN routine (or callable program) will convert the digits in a text string to words in a new text string. For example, the numeric value of 000123 will be converted to a text string of "One-hundred-twenty-three"
How to Use
The following is an example of how to convert a numeric value into a text string using a US currency format.
move 'DECIMAL2' to TXN-PASS-REQUEST
move '000000001898' to TXN-PASS-DIGITS-R
move '-' to TXN-PASS-TXT-DELIMITER
move 'Dollars ' to TXN-PASS-TXT-SUFFIX
move '$' to TXN-PASS-NUM-SYMBOL
call 'SIMOTXTN' using TXN-PASS-AREA
move TXN-PASS-TXT to MESSAGE-TEXT
In the preceding example the contents of TXN-PASS-TXT will be " Eighteen-and-98/100-Dollars " upon return from the call to SIMOTXTN.
A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SimoTXTN. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.
COPY PASSTXTN.
Note: The content of the copy file is shown in a later section of this document.

Summary
This document provides information about the SimoTXTN routine that converts a numeric value (or digits) to a text string of words. This document may be used to assist 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.
SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the Contact, Comment or Feedback section of this document.

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.
