SimoXT80, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoXT80 program provides an easy to use, callable routine for converting an eighty (80) byte string of text data.

SimoXT80, Preparing the Pass Area and Call Interface
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following is an example of how to initialize the pass area and call SimoXT80 to do a conversion between ASCII and EBCDIC. The eighty (80) byte text string to be converted must be moved to the XT80-DATA buffer that is defined in the copy file that should be used when calling SimoXT80.

           move 'A2E ' to XT80-REQUEST
           call 'SIMOXT80' using XT80-PASS-AREA

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

           call 'SIMOXT80' using XT80-PASS-AREA

The following is a listing of the copy file that defines the pass area when calling SimoXT80.

The following is a list of the parameters required when using the GL80-PASS-AREA to call the SimoGL80 routine.

Parameter  Description
XT80-REQUEST  This parameter must be provided by the calling program.
Keyword Description
A2E  Convert the text string from ASCII to EBCDIC
E2A  Convert the text string from EBCDIC to ASCII
XT80-RESPOND  A zero (0) value indicates a successful completion of the request. A non-zero value indicates the request could not be completed successfully.
XT80-DATA  This parameter will contain the logical record for a READ request.

The following is the copy statement used in the LINKAGE section of the SIMOGL80 callable routine.
