Batch Job Script

The following shows the content of a user-defined, ASCII/Text file.

The TCKPKAW1 job script will present the fields within a record structure in a hexadecimal notation format. The hexadecimal notation may be displayed or written to an ASCII/Text logging file.

The following is an example of the hexadecimal dump information provided for an ASCII encoded data string that contains "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".

Each single byte in the preceding string will produce two bytes of hexadecimal notation. The Hex Notation may be presented in 1 of 2 formats.

Format 1 will present a single line of Hex Notation.

Format 2 will present two lines of Hex Notation. The first line shows the content of bits 0-3 for each byte of data. The second line shows the content of bits 4-7 for each byte of data.

Note: Bits 0-3 may be referred to as the 1st nibble of a byte of data. Bits 4-7 may be referred to as the 2nd nibble of a byte of data.

rem  *
rem  * This Job Script will run on a Windows System. The following
rem  * describes each of the steps within this job.
rem  *
rem  *   1. Prepare the System and Job Environments.
rem  *   2. Create a Control File that will define a range of relative
rem  *      record numbers to be use to select records for processing.
rem  *   3. Execute a program that will read an ASCII encoded,
rem  *      Record Sequential (RSEQ) file that contains various numeric
rem  *      values stored in a Binary, Packed-Deciml (COMP-3) or Zoned-
rem  *      Decimal format. The records that are read from SYSUT1 are
rem  *      selected for processing by the specifications from a control
rem  *      file (SYSUT3) that define a range of records to be processed.
rem  *      The Text Strings and Hexadecimal dump information will be
rem  *      written to the SYSOUT Device.
rem  *   4. End of Job processing.

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
