Upper and Lower Case

Alphabetic Conversion Upper and Lower Case |
|
| The SimoTime Home Page |
Introduction
This is an example of how COBOL can do case conversion of alpha-numeric data within a field (or text string). The four basic functions provided are as follows.
| ||||||||||
| List of Case Conversion or Capitalizations Functions for SIMOCASE |
The example shows a simple conversion between upper and lower case plus capitalization and editing of specific words within a text string. Both COBOL programs were written and tested using the VS COBOL II dialect. Also, both COBOL programs will work with COBOL for MVS and COBOL/370. JCL members are provided to run the jobs as MVS batch jobs on an IBM mainframe or as a project with Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) running on a PC with Windows http://www.microfocus.com ). Also, CMD members are provided to run the jobs with Micro Focus Net Express running on a PC with Windows.
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.

Call Interface
The callable interface requires a data structure to be defined. A copy file (PASSCASE.CPY) is provided with the following source code.

Simple Convert, Upper to Lower Case
The input text string is moved to CASE-PASS-BUFFER before the call to SIMOCASE. After returning from the call with the CASE-PASS-REQUEST set to a value of '0' or ZERO a lower case text string will be returned in CASE-PASS-BUFFER.

Capitalize Each Word in a Text String
The input text string is moved to CASE-PASS-BUFFER before the call to SIMOCASE. After returning from the call with the CASE-PASS-REQUEST set to a value of '2' a lower case text string with each word capitalized will be returned in CASE-PASS-BUFFER.

| Capitalize Each Word in a Text String |
Edit Specific Words in a Text String
The input text string is moved to CASE-PASS-BUFFER before the call to SIMOCASE. After returning from the call with the CASE-PASS-REQUEST set to a value of '3' a lower case text string with each word capitalized and specific words modified based on an internal table will be returned in CASE-PASS-BUFFER. Notice in the following example the second occurrence of "the" is not capitalized.

The CMD Members
There are two (2) Windows Command files provided with this suite of sample programs. The first Command file will execute the sample programs that do the actual case conversions.
The second Command file is used to create a file that contains records with text strings that will be converted by the case conversion sample programs. This Command file should be executed at least once prior to attempting to execute the sample programs.

The following is the Windows Command file (CASECRE1.cmd) that is required to run as a job on a PC using Micro Focus Net Express.

COBOL Case Convert Routine
This program (SIMOCASE.cbl) was originally written to be used as a teaching and learning aid. It was first used in a production environment to replace a callable 370 assembler routine. Today, this program (or a modified version) is used in a number of mainframe shops and it is the program of choice used by SimoTime. Also, the program has been tested and deployed on a Windows System with Mainframe Express or Net Express from Micro Focus. The SIMOCASE callable program is part of the SimoMODS package of callable routines.
Explore how to do simple case conversion of text strings between Upper and Lower Case. Also, this routine has some advanced functions to do capitalization of the first letter in a word and/or identify certain words to be exempt from the conversion process.
Copy File for Pass Area
This copy file (PASSCASE.cpy) provides a convenient method for defining the data areas (or fields) that are used to pass information between the demo program and the case conversion routine.

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.
Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
