Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

On the mainframe it is a common practice to read a sequential file of eighty (80) byte records to obtain information or specifications that will affect the behavior of program execution. The eighty (80) byte records are a carry-over from the days when eighty-column cards were used. Even today these files are referred to as card files.

The technique for accessing these files varies and this suite of sample programs describes a few of the possible techniques. In addition, when an application is moved between an EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System with ZOS and a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus. it may be converted to run in an ASCII-encoded environment and this introduces a new set of challenges.

This suite of programs and documentation describes the techniques for simplifying this process by using callable I/O modules and a callable conversion routine that are provided by The SimoCARD Series of programs. The I/O modules provide for read and write access of both record and line sequential files The conversion routine will convert 80-byte text strings between EBCDIC-encoding and ASCII-encoding.

At this point it is important to note the terminology used in this document. The term "Record Sequential" will be used to refer to a sequential file that contains fixed-length records concatenated one after the other without record separators. This type of file may contain ASCII or EBCDIC encoded data along with numeric fields of various mainframe (or COBOL) formats such as packed or binary (i.e. COMP-3 or COMP).

The term "Line Sequential" (or ASCII/Text file) will be used to refer to a sequential file that contains variable-length records concatenated one after the other with a record separator inserted between each record. For Windows the record separator is two bytes (i.e. a carriage return and a line feed or a x'0D0A'). For UNIX the record separator is a single line feed character or x'0A'. To add to the confusion for an Apple Mac the record separator is a single carriage return character or x'0D'.

The following provides a list of terms or abbreviations used when referring to the various file types and record structures.

Term Description of File Format
KSDS File Format for a Key Sequencd Data Set or Indexedl File. The record structure contains a data area for the user records and an index area that contains a user defined key that is used to access the file in a sequential or randowm methodology. The record content may include text strings that conform to the ASCII or EBCDIC encoding schema. Numeric values may use a Zoned-Decimal, Packed-Decimal or Binary format..
LSEQ File Format for a Line Sequential File or ASCII/Text File. By default the record content should conform to the ASCII encoding schema.
RSEQ File Format for a Record Sequential File. The record content may include text strings that conform to the ASCII or EBCDIC encoding schema. Numeric values may use a Zoned-Decimal, Packed-Decimal or Binary format.
Term Description of Record Structure and Content
CSV Comma Separated Values is a record structure containing variable length fields of text characters. Each field is separated by a delimiter character that is typically a comma.
FFL Fixed Field Length is a record structure that contains fixed length fields. Each field may contain text or binary data.
Term Description is a hybrid of the File Format and Record Structure
LCSV Line Sequential file with a CSV Record Structure.
RFFL Record Sequential file with a Fixed Field Length record structure.
   

The preceding provides a list of terms or abbreviations used when referring to the various file types and record structures.

The primary purpose of this suite of programs is to address some of the possibilities and considerations when sharing or migrating data between an EBCDIC-encoded IBM Mainframe System (Note: the IBM, AS/400 is an EBCDIC-encoded system) and an ASCII-encoded Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server. This example will focus on sequential files with eighty (80) byte records.

1 Demonstrate how to read or write from and to a file (Record or Line Sequential) by calling an I/O routine.
2 Demonstrate how to do file format conversions between variable-length records and fixed-length records.
3 Demonstrate how to do record content conversions between ASCII and EBCDIC encoded text strings.
4 Demonstrate how to compare two data files using a generated COBOL program.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Program Input and Output

The following records are included in an ASCII/Text (or Line Sequential) file. This file (TEST0080.TXT) will be converted to an EBCDIC-encoded, Record Sequential file (RSEQ) with eighty (80) byte, fixed length records. The EBCDIC-encoded file will then be converted back to a third file that is an ASCII/Text file. The two ASCII/Text files will then be compared using a generated COBOL program. They should be identical.

The following is test data containing variable-length, alpa-numeric text strings.

The following is a flowchart of the job for executing the program to reads an ASCII/Text file of variable length records and creates an EBCDIC-encoded record sequential file of eighty (80) byte fixed length records.

The main program (CBLCRDC1) contains no File I/O coding or conversion coding, it simply calls the I/O routines and the conversion routine to do the detailed work. The source code for the CMD file and the COBOL programs is provided and may be modified to fit your environment.

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
