An Example for Executing a Program to DUMP the WORKING-STORAGE Section to SYSOUT
|
Color Associations: The light-green boxes are unique to SIMOTIME Technologies using an IBM Mainframe System or Micro Focus Enterprise Developer.
The light-red boxes are unique to the SIMOTIME Technologies using a Linux, UNIX or Windows System and COBOL Technologies such as Micro Focus.
The light-yellow boxes are SIMOTIME Technologies, Third-party Technologies, decision points or program transitions in the processing logic or program generations.
The light-blue boxes identify the input/output data structures such as Documents, Spreadsheets, Data Files, VSAM Data Sets, Partitioned Data Set Members (PDSM's) or Relational Tables.
The light-gray boxes identify a system function or an informational item.
The main program (CBSNAPC1) will call the DUMP routine (SIMOSNAP) which will display the content of WORKING-STORAGE to a SYSOUT device (using a HEX Dump format). The source code for the CMD file, the JCL member and the COBOL programs is provided and may be modified to fit your environment.
The Call Interface
The callable interface requires two data structures to be defined in the Working Storage section of the calling program.
Two copy files are provided to define the "eye-catcher" fields in the COBOL Working Storage Section. The copy statements will create the fields that will be used by the SimoSNAP routine to determine the start and stop addresses for the memory dump.
The first copy statement (STSNAPB1.CPY) should be the first statement in the COBOL Working Storage Section. The second copy statement (STSNAPB2.CPY) should be the last statement in the COBOL Working Storage Section.
WORKING STORAGE.
*The following should be the first statement in Working Storage.
COPY STSNAPB1
*
*The User's Working Storage Definitions go here
*
*The following should be the last statement in Working Storage.
COPY STSNAPB2
Note: The copy files insert sixteen (16) byte literals as the first and last fields in the Working Storage Section. The source code may be viewed in The Copy File section of this document.
The coding to do the actual call to display and/or log the file status information is as follows.

Requirements & Prerequisites
The programs in this packet were created and tested on an intel system with Microsoft Windows/XP and Micro Focus Net Express. The source code and executables are Windows Command files and COBOL programs.
This packet uses members that are part of The SimoMODS Series of callable programs. Therefore, the SimoMODS packet should be installed prior to running this packet of programs. The required prerequisite programs from the SimoMODS Series are SimoNOTE.CMD, SimoLOGS.GNT and SimoSNAP.GNT.
A CMD Member
The following is the Windows Command file (CBSNAPE1.cmd) that is required to run as a job on a PC using Micro Focus Net Express.

COBOL Memory Dump Routine
This program (SIMOSNAP.cbl) was originally written to be used as a diagnostic aid for SimoTime consultants and programmers. Today, this program is used by a number of our customers as a diagnostic aid for programming debugging or for tracking the results of program behavior in both a development and production environment. The program has been tested on Windows/XP system with Net Express from Micro Focus.
You may click here to view the source code for the callable snap dump routine.
Define Working Storage Boundaries
Two copy files are provided to define the "eye-catcher" fields in the COBOL Working Storage Section. The copy statements will create fields that will be used by the SimoSNAP routine to determine the start and stop addresses for the memory dump.
The first copy statement (STSNAPB1.cpy) should be the first statement in the COBOL Working Storage Section. This copy file will create a sixteen (16) byte literal that may be used as an eye-catcher when viewing the memory dump. This literal is used by the SimoSNAP routine to validate the start of the COBOL Working Storage 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
