Introduction
This suite of programs and documentation will describe and demonstrate an approach for reading a file, calculating record counts and producing summary totals for a set of pre-defined numeric fields that are defined as Binary, Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal. This approach may be used to validate Data integrity of the numeric fields and is especially useful for currency amounts. The approach uses two COBOL programs that were generated using SimoTime technology. The programs are generated, compiled and executed on a Windows System and may be transferred, compiled and executed on an IBM Mainframe (ZOS or VSE) or a Linux, UNIX or Windows (LUW) System.
If data files are being transferred between systems (i.e. from Mainframe System to an LUW System) the programs may be executed on the Mainframe System and the output file may be used as a control or validation mechanism to ensure that all the records were transferred and the numeric totals match.
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.

Supplemental Functions
create a test file that contains text strings (ASCII or EBCDIC) and numeric values (Binary, Packed Decimal and Zoned Decimal) that are stored in a variety of physical formats.
This section provides a broader perspective of the test case that includes the accumulation of summary totals and the calculation of the number of records within a file.
A COBOL Copy File is used to define a record structure for a Record Sequential (RSEQ) file that contains fixed length, 80 byte records. Each record contains text strings that may be ASCII or EBCDIC encoded and numeric values that may use a Binary, Packed Decimal and Zoned Decimal format. The following shows a Windows SET command that is used to map the file name used by the programs to an actual physical file name.
set SYSUT1=d:\dirname\SIMOTIME.DATA.NBRN80D1.DAT
Note: The "d:\dirname" notation is used to define a user drive and directory name where the file is stored.
The following is an overview of the tasks involved to create and maintain the test files and validate the processes for data management functions. The functions include data conversion (file structure and record content), record presentation in hexadecimal format with possible ASCII and EBCDIC character translations and the accumulation of summary totals with record counts.

Execute and Review
This section will describe and demonstrate how to execute the job scripts and programs in a mainframe-oriented environment or a Windows environment.
Accumulate Totals & Record Counts
A JCL Member and a Windows Command File are provided to set the environment and execute the programs that do the accumulation of summary totals and record counts.
Note: The job scripts have been tested in a SimoTime Test Environment and may need to be modified in order to execute in a user environment.
JCL, Totals and Record Counts
This is a single step job. It will execute a program that will read a file and calculate record counts and summary totals for a set of pre-defined numeric fields. This JCL is provided to run the job in a mainframe-oriented environment such as an IBM Mainframe running ZOS or a LINUX, UNIX or Windows System running Micro Focus Enterprise Server.

Preparation and Support
The section will describe and demonstrate the tasks that will create a test file and generate the COBOL programs. The generation process requires a Windows System (Windows/7 or later) and Micro Focus COBOL to generate the COBOL source code. The generated COBOL source code may then be compiled and executed on an IBM Mainframe or a Linux, UNIX or Windows system with Micro Focus.
JCL, Prepare a Test File
The preparation of the test file is covered in a separate document.
Explore how to create a file that contains text and binary data. This document describes a model for creating a record sequential file that contains text strings that use EBCDIC or ASCII encoding and various numeric formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. This model has the capability of creating a test file for an ASCII or EBCDIC encoded environment. This document will address many of the challenges of doing a record content conversion of a file that will be transferred between an EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System and an ASCII-encoded Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
Generate the Programs
This process will use a COBOL copy file and a Process Control File to generate the COBOL programs that will read a file and call a second program to calculate summary totals.
The Generated COBOL Programs
The COBOL programs in this example are generated using the SimoTime Enterprise Technologies for Application and Data Migrations. The generation technology uses a COBOL copy file for a definition of the record structure and a Process Control File to define and control the structure and behavior of the generated programs.
The Primary I/O Program
The following (ASTN80C1.cbl) is the COBOL program that does the file I/O and calls the routine that does the calculations for the summary totals.

* This set of programs will create summary totals for *
* pre-defined user-fields. The SYSNTOT1.TXT template file was *
* used to create this program. This program has the option to *
* process packed fields with non-numeric values or all space *
* characters. The fields with invalid characters or all spacces *
* are set to a zero value prior to being used to calculate the *
* summary totals. The input file is NOT updated. *
* *
* If Packed fields (i.e. COMP-3) are used and the packed fields *
* contain SPACE characters this program may ABEND with a *
* Mainframe S0C7 error or a Micro Foocus 163 Error. *
* *
* On the Mainframe System the NUMPROC(NOPFD) Compiler option *
* may be used to avoid the S0C7 ABEND. *
* *
* In the Micro Focus environment the SIGNFIXUP Compiler *
* directive may be used in conjunction with not using the *
* CHECKNUM Compiler directive. *
* *
* Note: the process that causes the packed fields to contain *
* SPACE characters should be addressed. The Compiler options *
* only prevent the error message but may produce in incorrect *
* results when used in arithmetic processing. *
* *
* The End-of-Job processing will post the summary totals and *
* record count information to the SYSOUT device. *

The copy file is used to define the record structure for a file that contains 80 byte, fixed length records. This HTML document is generated using SIMOTIME Technologies.
Explore how to create a file that contains text and binary data. This document describes a model for creating a record sequential file that contains text strings that use EBCDIC or ASCII encoding and various numeric formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. This model has the capability of creating a test file for an ASCII or EBCDIC encoded environment. This document will address many of the challenges of doing a record content conversion of a file that will be transferred between an EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System and an ASCII-encoded Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
Explore How to do EBC to ASC Data Conversion of an 80 byte Data Structure. The data structure contains ASCII or EBCDIC Text Strings and Numeric Values that use a Binary, Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal format. The binary strings will be bypassed, the numeric strings will be processed based on their numeric type and the text strings will be converted from EBC to ASC based on a user selected conversion table. This document will describe and demonstrate the conditional processing of individual string types within a data structure based on a COBOL copy file that defines the data structure.
Explore How to do ASC to EBC Data Conversion of an 80 byte Data Structure. The data structure contains ASCII or EBCDIC Text Strings and Numeric Values that use a Binary, Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal format. The binary strings will be bypassed, the numeric strings will be processed based on their numeric type and the text strings will be converted from ASC to EBC based on a user selected conversion table.

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.
