Introduction
This document includes the COBOL source code for the program that converts a Record Sequential file formatted with fixed length 80 byte records to a Micro Focus Line Sequential (or ASCII/Text) file with fixed length records with a record size of 80 bytes.
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 COBOL Copy Files
The following are the COBOL copy files used by the program.
COBOL Copy File, ASCEBCB1
The following (ASCEBCB1.cpy) is the source code for the copy file that defines an ASCII table and an EBCDIC table that are used for data conversion(between ASCII and EBCIDC) and case conversion (between upper and lower case).

* the conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII. *
* *
* inspect FIELD-NAME converting EBCDIC-INFO to ASCII-INFO *
* inspect FIELD-NAME converting ASCII-INFO to EBCDIC-INFO *
* *
* The tables include the alphabet for upper and lower case, the *
* digits 0-9, the special characters (US) and the alternate *
* codes for A, E, I, O, and U with the appropriate acute, *
* grave, umlaut, circumflex and tilde. *
* To display the alternate codes the Courier New (Fixed) or *
* Times New Roman (Proportional) font should be used. *
* *
* SimoZAPS contains four tables that may be used for various *
* Upper/Lower Case or EBCDIC/ASCII conversion requirements. *
* ASCEBCB1.CPY - includes a full character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters *
* and alternate codes for characters with the *
* acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and circumflex. *
* Caution: this table does not convert the Y *
* characters with an umlat. *
* ASCEBCB2.CPY - includes the character set for the translation *
* between EBCDIC/ASCII of signed/unsigned, *
* zoned-decimal, numeric fields. *
* ASCEBCB3.CPY - includes the character set for the alternate *
* codes with the acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and *
* circumflex. This is primarily used for case *
* conversion. *
* Note: this table converts the Y characters *
* with an umlat, this will convert high-values *
* X'FF' to X'DF' *
* ASCEBCB4.CPY - includes the character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters. *
* This is primarily used in the US where the *
* alternate codes may not be required. *
* ASCEBCB5.CPY - includes a full character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters *
* and alternate codes for characters with the *
* acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and circumflex. *
* Caution: this table will convert the Y *

Summary
This document includes the COBOL source code for the program that converts a Record Sequential file formatted with fixed length 80 byte records to a Micro Focus Line Sequential (or ASCII/Text) file with fixed length records with a record size of 80 bytes. This document may be used to assist as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.
SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the Contact or Feedback section of this document.

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
