rem  * This job will read a file containing a list of names of the
rem  * COBOL Copy Files that define record structures. For each COBOL
rem  * copy File name the ZCPY2HTM.cmd is called to do the program
rem  * generation.
rem  *
rem  * Job Step  Description
rem  * --------  --------------------------------------------------------*
rem  *   1.      Preparing the System and Job Environment.
rem  *   2.      Generate a List of HTML Members in Lower Case.
rem  *           2.1  Use the DIR command to create a list of copy
rem  *                file names.
rem  *           2.2  Run program to convert cpy name to .htm lower
rem  *                case name.
rem  *   3.      Generate the HTML Documents for Record Structures.
rem  *   4.      End of Job Processing.
rem  *
rem  * This Job Script calls the following Windows Command Files.
rem  * 1. ENV1BASE.cmd - this provides a single point for setting commonly
rem  *                   used environment variables.
rem  * 2. ZFIGPREP.cmd - define the user directories for input and output.
rem  * 3. SIMONOTE.cmd - this provides a consistent process for displaying
rem  *                   messages to the screen and writing to a journal
rem  *                   or log file.
rem  * 4. ZCPY2HTM.cmd - this will do the actual HTML generation for a
rem  *                   record structure based on the field definitions
rem  *                   in a COBOL copyfile.

Summary

This document shows the content of a user-defined job script that is used for batch processing. 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.

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
