Comma Delimited File Read and Parse |
|

Introduction
Convert an ASCII encoded file with a record structure that uses a Comma Separated Value or CSV format to a file with a record structure that uses a Row and Column or Record and Field format. This test case includes documentation, job scripts and sample programs that describes and demonstrates how to read a comma-delimited file (filename.CSV, Comma-Separated-Value) of variable length strings and create a Row-Column oriented file of fixed length records and fixed length fields. If a string (or data field) contains a delimiter character then process as data. The program may be adjusted to access a delimited file using a tab, semicolon or other character as the delimiter.
The programs have been tested on an IBM Mainframe System, a Windows system with Micro Focus COBOL and a Linux System with GnuCOBOL.
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.

The following is an example of a sequential (or Line Sequential) file that contains records with predefined, fixed-length fields. This file was created by a COBOL program that read and parsed strings in a Comma Delimited file (filename.CSV).The customer number is in positions 1 through 12. Notice that customer numbers 000000002200, 000000002300 and 000000999999 contain examples of fields with leading spaces and fields that contain a comma in the data string. All the records have trailing spaces in the fields.

| Programming Requirements, Operating Environments for Program Execution |
Programming Overview
The main program (CBLCSVC2) will read an ASCII/Text file with CSV formatted records (CSVGETD1) and produce a file with the record content being a fixed field format (TXTPUTD1), The record length is 512 bytes.. The source code for the CMD file and the COBOL programs is provided and may be modified to fit your environment.
The following is a flowchart of the job for executing the program to create a Sequential file of fixed-length fields from a Comma Delimited file.

The COBOL Programs
The conversion process uses two (2) programs. The mainline program does the file I/O and calls the conversion routine to the record content conversion. The following describes the two programs.
The COBOL I/O Program
The following (CBLCSVC2.cbl) is a sample of the Micro Focus COBOL demonstration program. This program will not compile or execute on an IBM Mainframe because of the ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL on the SELECT statement. If the statement was changed to read ORGANIZATION IS SEQUENTIAL it would run on an IBM Mainframe and "read from" and "write to" a sequential file. The program was tested using Micro Focus Net Express, version 6.0 running on Windows/7.

* This routine uses reference modification to identify the
* position of the first significant character after the
* delimiter character. This approach compensates for multiple
* leading or embedded delimiter characters. The string function
* of COBOL does not handle leading spaces.
*
* For example, if the delimiter character is a space then
* leading spaces will be ignored and multiple, embedded spaces
* will be treated as a single space.

* a failure. *
* *
* ------------------------------------------------------------- *
* The following fields are provided by the calling routine. *

* PRS-DELIMITER This is a one byte character that is *
* used as a delimiter. This item is *
* provided by the calling program and *
* is not modified by the parsing routine. *
* *
* PRS-KEEP-NULL-FIELDS This must be a Yes (Y) or No (N) value *
* (Y) will indicate a Yes, keep null field *
* (N) will indicate a No and null fields *
* will be dropped. *
* PRS-TERMINATOR This must be a Yes (Y) or No (N) value *
* to indicate a character that will be *
* used for termination of the parsing. *
* If (Y) then the next parameter is used *
* as a termination character. If (N) the *
* buffer will be parsed according to the *
* size of the buffer or maximum number *
* of table entries. This item is provided *
* by the calling program and is not *
* modified by the parsing routine. *
* PRS-TERMINATOR-BYTE If the previous parameter is (Y) this *
* byte will be used to terminate the *
* parsing when it is encountered in the *
* data string. This item is provided by *
* the calling program and is not modified *
* by the parsing routine. *
* *
* PRS-BUFFER-SIZE The size of the data string to be *
* parsed and must be a value of 1-1024. *
* This item is provided by the calling *
* program and is not modified by the *
* parsing routine. *
* PRS-BUFFER This is the data string or field that *
* will be parsed. This item is provided *
* by the calling program and is not *
* modified by the parsing routine. *
* *
* PRS-TABLE-MAX The maximum number of table entries *
* available for the POSITION/SIZE values *
* of the words in the input buffer. *
* This item is provided by the calling *
* program and is not modified by the *
* parsing routine. *
* *
* ------------------------------------------------------------- *
* The following fields are updated by the parsing routine. *
* *
* PRS-NUMBER-OF-ITEMS This is the number of keywords found *
* in the input data string. This item is *
* provided by the parsing routine. *
* *
* PRS-LAST-SIG-BYTE This is the position of the last *
* significant, non-delimiter byte. If the *
* PRS-TERMINATOR is "Y" this will be the *
* last significant byte before the *
* terminator byte. *
* *
* PRS-POSITION This is a table of 64 elements of *
* 4-bytes. The value is either zero (0) *
* or the position of a keyword within the *
* input data string. The first position *
* within the buffer is one (1). *
* This item is provided by the parsing *
* routine. *
* PRS-SIZE This is a table of 64 elements of *
* 4-bytes. The value is either zero (0) *
* or the size of a keyword within the *
* input data string. This item is provided *
* by the parsing routine. *
* *
* ------------------------------------------------------------- *
* NOTE... The table element number is the number *
* of the word within the data buffer. *
* The data buffer is PRS-BUFFER. *
* For example, PRS-POSITION(1) would point *
* to the position of the first character *
* of the first word in the data buffer *
* PRS-SIZE(1) would specify the number of *
* characters in the first word. *

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
