Introduction
This document will describe the process for creating executable members from COBOL source members. The process uses Job Scipts or Batch Job Processing techniques. This process was originally created and executed using Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Micro Focus Net Express 3.0 and 3.1.
Explore the SIMOTIME Web Site for additional information about the technologies and services that are available.
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.

| 1. | Requires Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or Windows/XP System. |
| 2. | Requires Micro Focus Net Express 3.0 or 3.1. |
| 3. | Requires the SimoTime Library to be installed. |
The preceding is a list of the Batch Job Requirements for the Operating System, Sub-systems and Utility Programs.
Batch Job Scripts
This section describes the batch job scripts that are used to create test data files and execute the test cases. A Job Script will identify and allocate resources (data files, memory, work areas, control information, etc.) for the Job or Job Step and execute programs that will process, access or utilize the allocated resources.
Primary Windows CMD Files
The following Job Scripts are Windows CMD Files that may be executed from a CMD Line Window or from Windows Explorer by simply double-clicking on the item name.
The Job Scripts may call other Job Scripts to perform shared or repetitive tasks.
Prepare and Compile CBL to INT
The following Job Script is a Windows CMD File (CBUT2AW1_INT.cmd) used to prepare the environment, allocate the resources and compile the COBOL program.

Summary
This document describes the process for creating executable members from COBOL source members. The process uses Job Scipts or Batch Job Processing techniques. This process was originally created and executed on a Microsoft Windows NT2000 System with Micro Focus Net Express 3.0. This document may be used to assist as a tutorial for new assembler programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers. The samples focus on the coding techniques of the individual instructions. As always, it is the programmer's responsibility to thoroughly test all programs.

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
