Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This suite of sample programs describes how to create, populate and access a VSAM cluster for a Key Sequenced Data Set (KSDS) with a Primary Key and an Alternate Index (or alternate record keys). This example uses a five (5) step process to create the necessary components of a VSAM cluster. JCL members are provided to perform the five steps as a single job or as five separate jobs. This process uses IDCAMS (Access Method Services) to define the various components and a COBOL program to do an ordered (or sequential) load of the KSDS with data. This is usually faster than a random add but requires the records to be added in sequence. It is important to note that the primary key must be unique (i.e. no duplicate keys allowed). The alternate index may be define to contain duplicate keys.

A number of ancillary programs are provided to validate the creation of the VSAM cluster and to do updates to the existing cluster. The first program will access the KSDS sequentially by the primary key and produce a report in sequence by the customer number or primary key. The second program will access the KSDS using the alternate index and produce a report that is sequenced by the telephone number or alternate key. The third program will read a sequential file and then update an existing record or add a new record to the KSDS depending on whether a matching primary key is found. The fifth program is just a JCL member that uses IDCAMS to delete the VSAM cluster.

The techniques used in this example may be applied when transferring a file from a mainframe to a Wintel platform. For example, to transfer a VSAM, KSDS using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) it would be necessary to reproduce (IDCAMS and REPRO) the VSAM, KSDS as a flat, sequential file and then FTP the sequential file. Once the sequential file resides on the Wintel platform it is then necessary to create a Micro Focus Keyed Indexed file with a primary key and an alternate index. This example describes how to read a sequential file and populate (or load) a VSAM, KSDS with a primary key and an alternate index.

The COBOL programs are written using the IBM COBOL for OS/390 dialect and will work with IBM Enterprise COBOL. A suite of JCL members is provided to run the jobs as MVS batch jobs on an IBM Mainframe System or as a project with Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) running on a Windows System. A suite of Windows batch or command files is provided to run the jobs using Micro Focus Net Express.

This example illustrates the following functions.

Item Description
1 Demonstrate how to create an empty VSAM, KSDS using IDCAMS.
2 Demonstrate how to create a sequential file using IEBGENER.
3 Demonstrate how to sort a sequential file.
4 Demonstrate how to load (or populate) and empty KSDS and build the alternate index.
5 Demonstrate how to read the KSDS sequentially by the primary key and print a report.
6 Demonstrate how to read the KSDS sequentially by the alternate index and print a report.
7 Provide examples of a Window's CMD files to run the jobs on Windows using Micro Focus Net Express or Application Server.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Quick Start, Run Sample Programs

The programs have been tested using a mainframe with z/OS, Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) and Micro Focus Net Express. The programs were easily downloaded from the mainframe z/OS system to a Windows/XP system. With Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFS) it was a simple process to set up a project, compile the programs and execute the JCL. For Micro Focus Net Express the requirements were to run in an ASCII environment from a command line. Creating a Net Express project to compile the programs was a simple task. Creating the CMD files to perform the tasks of creating and managing a Keyed-Indexed file was a manual task. One program (CBLALTC2.CBL) needed to be changed to execute properly and this is documented in the source code.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Mainframe Oriented Environment

For the Mainframe z/OS and Micro Focus MFE environments the JCL should be executed in the following order.

JCL Name Description
CBLALTJ8 This job will create the QSAM or sequential files that will be used to initially load data into the VSAM, Key Sequenced Data Set (KSDS).
CBLALTJ9 This job will create the VSAM cluster, populate with data and create an alternate index.
CBLALTJ7 This job demonstrates how to randomly add new records or update existing records in a KSDS with an alternate index. This job uses a COBOL program that reads a sequential file and randomly adds or updates the KSDS. This is an optional step.
CBLALTJ1 This job uses a COBOL program to print a simple report that is sequenced by customer number. The customer number is the primary key.
CBLALTJ2 This job uses a COBOL program to print a simple report that is sequenced by telephone number. The telephone number is the alternate index.
CBLALTJ3 This job uses a COBOL program to print a simple report that may be sequenced by customer number or telephone number depending on a parameter passed from the JCL. The customer number is the primary key and the telephone number is the alternate index.
CBLALTJ0 This job does the housekeeping by deleting all the files created by running the suite of jobs that describe and demonstrate the creation and processing of a VSAM, Key-Sequenced-Data-Sets (KSDS) with an alternate index.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section The JCL Members

The example has a number of JCL members that perform the various steps to create, load and access a VSAM, Keyed Sequential Data Set with a primary key and an alternate index. The JCL may execute on an IBM Mainframe with z/OS or a Windows System with Micro Focus Mainframe Express.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Create the QSAM Files

The following (CBLALTJ8.jcl) is a sample of the mainframe JCL needed to run IEBGENER and create a sequential file. The records to be placed in the sequential file are included in the job stream. The records are intentionally loaded into the sequential file in an out of sequence arrangement.

The second step in the job will sort the file and create a sequential file that is in sequence by the customer number. This file will be used to do the initial loading (or populating) of the VSAM, KSDS. Since the initial load will be done as a sequential add (or ordered load) the records must be in sequence.

The third step will create a smaller file that will be used to randomly add or update records in an existing VSAM, KSDS.

The following (CBLALTJ0.jcl) is a sample of the mainframe JCL needed to run IDCAMS and delete the VSAM cluster. Subsequent job steps will delete the sequential files that are created by the suite of jobs for the ALTERNATE INDEX suite of example programs.

CAUTION!!! This will delete the Keyed-Indexed file. This includes the data, primary index and alternate index. Also, the work files and other output files created by this suite of programs will be deleted.

//*-------------------------------------------------------------------
//* The following example is more than what is usually required to
//* delete a VSAM Data Set. However, the purpose is to illustrate the
//* functions of the IDCAMS utility.
//*  PURGE: A VSAM Data Set may be date-protected. The DEFINE Cluster
//*         has the option of specifying a retention date. If this
//*         retention date has not expired then the PURGE option will
//*         be required in order to delete the data set.
//*         The default is NOPURGE.
//*  ERASE: The standard operation by the VSAM DELETE is to delete
//*         the catalog entry of the cluster and mark the space used
//*         by the cluster as reclaimable. The data contents of the
//*         cluster is no longer generally available but it is still
//*         present until the area is reused. This introduces a
//*         potential problem or security exposure for sensitive data.
//*         The information could be retrieved using some special
//*         class of DUMP/RESTORE utilities that are often used by
//*         data center staff. The ERASE function will write over the
//*         data area used by the cluster and the original data is
//*         destroyed. The default is NOERASE.
//*  SET:   The MAXCC = 0 will reset a non-zero return code to ZERO.
//*         This ensures a ZERO return code if this job is executed
//*         and the data set does not exist.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section The CMD Members

This section will describe the various steps required to create a keyed-indexed file, populate the file with data, create an alternate index and then access the file sequentially using the primary key or the alternate index. Micro Focus COBOL and Net Express is used to run the programs in a Windows environment.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Create the QSAM Files

The following (CBLALTE8.cmd) is a sample of a Windows CMD file needed to create a sequential file. The records to be placed in the sequential file are included in the job stream. The records are intentionally loaded into the sequential file in an out- of-sequence arrangement.

The first step in the job is housekeeping. This step will set environment variables and delete any files created by a previous run of this job.

The second step in the job will create a sequential file. The records are intentionally placed in the file in an out-of-sequence arrangement.

The third step in the job will sort the file and create a sequential file that is in sequence by the customer number. This file will be used to do the initial loading (or populating) of the keyed-indexed file. Since the initial load will be done as a sequential add (or ordered load) the records must be in sequence.

The fourth step will create a smaller sequential file that will be used to randomly add or update records in an existing keyed-indexed file.

The fifth step performs the End-of-Job tasks.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Create Indexed File & Alternate Index

The following (CBLALTE9.cmd) is a sample of the Windows CMD file needed to create a Key-Indexed file with a primary index and an alternate index. This example is a single job consisting of four steps.

The first step will set the environment for the job to execute.

The second step will create the Keyed-Indexed file with a primary index. Data is loaded into the file by reading a sequential file and writing records to the Keyed-Index file.

The third step uses the "rebuild" program to create the alternate index.

The fourth step performs the End-of-Job tasks.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section The COBOL Programs

The example has a number of COBOL programs that perform the various steps to create, load and access a VSAM, Keyed Sequential Data Set with a primary key and an alternate index. The COBOL programs may execute on an IBM Mainframe with z/OS or a Wintel System with Micro Focus Mainframe Express. The following sections include the source listings and a brief description of the programs.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Sequential Load of Data to KSDS

The following (CBLALTC9.cbl) is a sample of the COBOL program that will read the sorted sequential file and write the records to the VSAM, KSDS. This program does a sequential read of the QSAM file and a Sequential write to the VSAM, KSDS. This program expects the VSAM, KSDS to be empty. The sequential writing of records (i.e. ordered load) is usually faster than a random read and update or add records. Since this is a sequential process the records must be in sequence according to the primary key. This program does not expect the alternate index to be defined for the VSAM, KSDS.

The following (CBLALTC3.cbl) is a sample of a COBOL program that will read a VSAM, KSDS sequentially by the primary key or the alternate index and write a report that is sequenced by the customer number or the telephone number. The sequence is controlled by a parameter passed from the JCL member.

      *    When processing using the Primary Index the following two
      *    DD statements are required in the JCL member.
      *
      *    //ALTKSD   DD  DSN=SIMOTIME.DATA.ALTKSD,DISP=SHR
      *    //ALTKSD1  DD  DSN=SIMOTIME.DATA.ALTKSD.PATH,DISP=SHR
      *
      *    The first DD statement points to the VSAM cluster and the
      *    second DD statement causes the alternate index within the
      *    cluster to be available when processing.
      *
      *    This program uses the parameter passed from JCL to
      *    determine the sequence of processing records within the
      *    data set. If the parameter is "AIX1" then the START
      *    statement is used to position the read to start at the
      *    first entry in the alternate index. The following shows
      *    the JCL statement for passing the parameter.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section 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
