This is an example of how a COBOL program can read a sequential file that has been downloaded from a mainframe in EBCDIC format and write an ASCII, Text file. The COBOL source code was generated using SimoZAPS, a product of SimoTime Enterprises. The SimoZAPS utility program also has the capability of reading, writing or converting between other file formats.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This program is provided as a COBOL example of one of the possible solutions to the problem of changing the contents and structure of data files.
This program will read an EBCDIC, Sequential (QSAM) file and write an ASCII, Text file. This program will change both the content and format. The content will be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII. The format will be changed from fixed-record-length with no record delimiters to variable-record-length with the carriage-return, line-feed (CRLF or x'0D0A') characters being used as the record delimiter. This program was compiled and tested on the PC using Mainframe Express (with the non-mainframe dialect) and Net Express (refer to http://www.microfocus.com ). Since the organization of the output file (SYSUT2) is specified as LINE SEQUENTIAL (the Micro Focus terminology for ASCII Text files) this program will not compile or execute on the mainframe.
The following is the COBOL source code for the file conversion.

The purpose of this document is to assist as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers. These sample programs are made available on an "as-is" basis and may be downloaded, copied and modified for specific situations as long as the copyright information is not removed or changed. As always, it is the programmer's responsibility to thoroughly test all programs.
Take a look at the Table of ASCII and EBCDIC values.
The SimoZAPS Utility Program runs on a Windows platform and has the capability of generating a COBOL program that will do the conversion of sequential and VSAM (KSDS) files between EBCDIC and ASCII. SimoZAPS can also read a sequential file in EBCDIC format and create an ASCII/CRLF file or VSAM Keyed Sequential Data Set in ASCII format. The conversion tables may be viewed or modified to meet unique requirements. The Hexcess/2 function of SimoZAPS provides the capability of viewing, finding or patching the contents of a file in hexadecimal. The following is a list of a few conversion programs created by the GENERATE function of SimoZAPS.
| Program | Description |
| cble2a01 | Convert from an EBCDIC-Sequential file to an ASCII-Sequential file. This example includes a mainframe JCL member. |
| zap00101 | Convert from an EBCDIC-Sequential file to an ASCII-Text file. |
| zap00201 | Convert from an EBCDIC-Sequential file to an ASCII-Indexed file (Sequential-Add). |
| zap00301 | Convert from an EBCDIC-Sequential file to an ASCII-Sequential file. |
| zap00401 | Convert from an ASCII-Text file to an EBCDIC-Indexed file (Sequential-Add). |
| zap00501 | Convert from an ASCII-Text file to an EBCDIC-Indexed file (Random-Add). |
Check out The COBOL Connection for more examples of mainframe COBOL coding techniques and sample code.
Check out The VSAM-QSAM Connection in the SimoTime Library for more examples of mainframe COBOL techniques and sample code.
This document provides a quick summary of the File Status Key for VSAM data sets and QSAM files. The File Status Key is a two character data item. The first character of the status key is known as status key 1; the second character is known as status key 2.

Founded in 1987, SimoTime Enterprises 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. This includes the smallest thin client using the Internet and the very large mainframe systems. There is more to making the Internet work for your company's business than just having a nice looking WEB site. It is about combining the latest technologies and existing technologies with practical business experience. It's about the business of doing business and looking good in the process. 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.
