COBOL I/O Routine COBOL calls COBOL, QSAM Access |
The SimoTime Home Page |
This suite of programs provides an example of how a mainline COBOL program calls a mainframe COBOL I/O routine to access a QSAM or Sequential file. Both COBOL programs are written using the VS COBOL II dialect and should work with COBOL for MVS, COBOL/370, OS390 and Enterprise COBOL. A JCL member is provided to run the job as an MVS batch job on an IBM mainframe or as a project with Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) running on a PC with Windows. A suite of Windows Command files is provided to run in a Windows environment with Micro Focus Net Express or Application Servers without JCL.

The following is a flowchart of the COBOL calling COBOL example.
Color Associations: The The Calling ConventionThe following summarizes the items needed for a "calling program" (CBLQSMC1.CBL) to call a "called program" (CBLQSMC2). The "calling program" contains the following statement to make the call to the "called program". CALL 'CBLQSMC2' USING PASS-AREA The "calling program" needs the following data structure (PASS-AREA) to be defined in the WORKING-STORAGE section. ***************************************************************** * Data Structure used for calling CBLQSMC2. * The calling statement is as follows... * CALL 'CBLQSMC2' USING PASS-AREA * 01 PASS-AREA. 05 PASS-REQUEST pic X(8). 05 PASS-RESULT pic S9(9) comp. 88 NORMAL-RESULT value 0. 88 COBOL-RESULT-SAME value 8. 88 EOF-RESULT value 16. 05 PASS-RECORD. 10 PASS-KEY pic X(6). 10 PASS-INFO pic X(74). ***************************************************************** The "called-program" needs the following Linkage Section defined for the pass area. ***************************************************************** LINKAGE SECTION. * Data Structure used for passing the address or an address * list of a data string or strings.. * The Procedure Division statement must also be as follows... * The PROCEDURE DIVISION using PASS-AREA. * 01 PASS-AREA. 05 PASS-REQUEST pic X(8). 05 PASS-RESULT pic S9(9) comp. 88 NORMAL-RESULT value 0. 88 COBOL-RESULT-SAME value 8. 88 EOF-RESULT value 16. 05 PASS-RECORD. 10 PASS-KEY pic X(6). 10 PASS-INFO pic X(74). ***************************************************************** In addition to defining the pass area in the Linkage Section the "called program" needs the Procedure Division statement to be coded as follows. PROCEDURE DIVISION using PASS-AREA. The source code listings for both the "calling program" and the "called program" are included within this document. The JCL MembersThe following section describes three (3) JCL members. The first JCL member will execute a COBOL program that calls a second COBOL to access a sequential file. The second JCL member is used to create and populate a sequential file. The third JCL member will delete the sequential file. COBOL calls COBOL I/O RoutineThe following is the JCL member (CBLQSMJ1.jcl) required to run the mainline program. The coding technique is used with the expectation the JCL would be used as a stand alone procedure. The job and DD statements will need to be modified for different mainframe environments. //CBLQSMJ1 JOB SIMOTIME,ACCOUNT,CLASS=1,MSGCLASS=0,NOTIFY=CSIP1 //* ******************************************************************* //* CBLQSMJ1.JCL - a JCL Member for Batch Job Processing * //* This program is provided by SimoTime Technologies * //* (C) Copyright 1987-2019 All Rights Reserved * //* Web Site URL: http://www.simotime.com * //* e-mail: helpdesk@simotime.com * //* ******************************************************************* //* //* Text - COBOL calling COBOL for QSAM File I/O. //* Author - SimoTime Technologies //* Date - January 01, 1987 //* //* This set of programs illustrate the use of COBOL calling a 370 //* assembler program to do QSAM sequential I/O.

When an I/O failure occurs the file status code will be displayed. Displaying the file status code takes a little extra effort. Many times the file status code is a two character field and each character is a printable numeric value. However, in some cases the second character may be a COMP value. The error handling in the following program will display the file status code correctly for either format. IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. CBLQSMC2. AUTHOR.

We appreciate hearing from you. Company OverviewSimoTime 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
