Introduction
This suite of sample programs describes how to write a message or text string to a user-defined log file. The file has variable length records based on the size of the text string.
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.

Write to Log, 1K Buffer Size
The following diagram shows the data and logic flow for posting a message with a maximum length of 1024 bytes to a user-defined log file.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Note-1 SYSLOG is a sequential file with variable length records (4-1055). The maximum record length provides for a 1024 byte user buffer preceded by a date/time stamp. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Post a Message to a User-Defined Log File |
Write to Log, 32K Buffer Size
The following diagram shows the data and logic flow for posting a message with a maximum length of 32760 bytes to a user-defined log file.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Note-1 SYSPROBE is a sequential file with variable length records (4-32760). The maximum record length provides for a 32760 byte user buffer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Execute
This section describes the batch job scripts used to demonstrate how the messages are written to the user-defined log files. The job scripts provided are Windows CMD Files and JCL Members for a Mainframe System.
CMD Files
The following CMD Files are intended to be used on a Windows System with Micro Focus COBOL.

* This program calls SIMOLOGS to perform two functions:
*
* DISPLAY - display a message upon the console.
* FILE - write a message to a used-defined file.
*
*****************************************************************
* The EXPAND function will do the following:
*
* Input: BTS-PASS-BITS, a one byte field (8-bits)
* OUTPUT: BTS-PASS-BYTES, an eight byte field
*
* For each bit that is on in the BTS-PASS-BITS field set the
* corresponding byte in the BTS-PASS-BYTES field to a value
* of one.
*
* For each bit that is off in the BTS-PASS-BITS field set the
* corresponding byte in the BTS-PASS-
* BYTES field to a value of zero.
*
* Example: if BTS-PASS-BITS = x'55'
* then BTS-PASS-BYTES will be '01010101'

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
