Variable-Length Records File Compare, Pre-Defined Positions |
![]() |
The SimoTime Home Page |
This suite of programs will describe and demonstrate how to compare two record-sequential files that have variable-length records and a maximum record length of 80 bytes. The program that does the actual data file compare is a COBOL program that is generated using SimoTime technologies. The compare logic will compare the entire record for each file by using prefined positions for comparison. The results of the compare and the summary information will be posted to the SYSYOUT device.
The 1st section (Primary Functions) of this document will focus on doing an actual compare of two record-sequential files with variable length records. The 2nd section (Secondary Functions) will focus on the preparation tasks required prior to doing the file compare. The 3rd section (Ancillary Functions) will describe some of the supporting tasks (such as creating test files) that are required.
This example will use IEBGENER to create the record sequential files used in the compare process. The files will be used to demonstrate the capabilities of the data file compare processes.
This example includes JCL Members and a COBOL program. In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This suite of programs is provided as one of the many possible solutions for comparing data files. The files used in this suite of sample programs use variable-length records with a maximum record length of eighty-bytes. When the files are compared and if a difference is found the COBOL compare program will call SIMOHEX4.CBL and SIMOLOGS.CBL. These programs and their associated copy files are part of the SIMOLIBR package. Refer to the Downloads and Links to Similar Pages section of this document for additional information.
Many companies are looking for ways to compare data files using a mainframe system and a distibuted system (i.e. Linux, UNIX and/or Windows or "LUW") running Micro Focus sub-systems. This utility program (UTCOMPRT) is intended to assist in these efforts. The UTCOMPRT program runs in the Windows environment and generates comparision programs (COBOL Source Code) that may be compiled and executed on a distributed LUW platform with Micro Focus, a Mainframe System with ZOS or VSE and/or an AS/400 System.

This section will focus on the items (process and procedures) that do the actual data file comparision. A second group of items will be used to generate the comparison program and prepare the environment for the compare tasks. These secondary command files and programs will be described in the Secondary Functions section of this document.
This section will focus on two JCL Members that execute the file compare process. The first JCL Member will compare two files that have variable-length records. The second JCL Member will delete and re-create two record sequential files with variable length records.
This JCL Member (VRECCPJ1.jcl) will compare two sequential files that are identical. The job execution will result in a non-zero return code. The detailed results of the not-equal conditions and the record counts will be posted to the SYSOUT device.

This section will focus on the items (process and programs) that do the generation and compilation of a data file compare programs.
The SimoTime Utility Program for Data File Comparison runs on a Windows System with Micro Focus and will generate the COBOL source code for a program that will do a compare of two data files. The generation of the COBOL source code requires a Windows System with Micro Focus Studio or Micro Focus Server, version 6.0 or later. The generated COBOL source code may be compiled and executed on the following systems and will do the actual comparison of the two data files.
| ||||||||
Express is recommended. Once a program is compiled with Micro Focus Server Express it may be executed using Micro Focus Server. |
The SimoTime Utility for Data File Compare will provide additional detail about creating a Process Control File and generating the COBOL source code for a data file compare program.
The following is the Process Control File (CPRS8001.pcf) that will define the process and parameters required for generating a COBOL program that will compare two record sequential file (RSEQ) containing variable-length records with a maximum record length of 80 bytes.

This example uses two data files with variable-length records to demonstrate the basic funtions of the data file compare process.Each file contains five records with different content in position 5.

Explore How to do a File Compare based on Positions within a Record that are defined at Execution Time. The positions within the records to be compared are defined in a Specifications File that is read by the generated compare program at execution time. This approach requires an extra file to be defined during the execution process but the positions to be compared may be changed without having to regenerate and compile the compare program.
Explore the Principles of Data File Validation. This link includes guidelines for defining requirements and determining the scope of effort for a data validation effort. This effort includes a data file compare process, a technique for accumulating summary totals with a record count and a technique for reading a VSAM, KSDS and producing a hex-dump output based on a list of user-defined keys.
Explore How to Generate a Data File Compare, Validate or Hex-Dump Program using simple specification statements in a Process Control File (PCF). This link to the User Guide includes the information necessary to create a Process Control File and generate the COBOL programs that will do a data file compare, accumulate summary totals with a record count or produce a Hex-Dump of records in a VSAM, KSDS based on a list of user-defined keys. The User Guide contains a list of the PCF statements that are used for the data file compare, validate or dump process.
Explore a Data File Compare Utility Program that is used to compare the content of two sequential files with 80 byte records. The positions within the record that are to be compared are determined at execution time. When a difference occurs the output may be written to SYSOUT or a log file. The COBOL source code for the program was generated using SimoTime technologies.
