Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This document shows the content of an ASCII/Text file. The record structure may use one of the following formats.

1. Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) format.
2. A group of concatenated Text string of fixed length. The numeric values may be padded with leading zeroes and the text values may be padded with trailing spaces.
3. A single string of ASCII-encoded text.

 


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.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Batch Job Script

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

This job script (Windows Command File) will access a user file and call a second program that will present the record content in a Hex-Dump Format along with a possible dislay of an associated ASCII or EBCDIC character.

rem  * Text    - Review by Field an ASC-encoded file with Packed and Text
rem  * Author  - SimoTime Technologies and Services
rem  * Date    - November 11, 2003
rem  * Version - 06.07.16
rem  *
rem  * This job script will illustrate the use of COBOL programs to review
rem  * the content of a Record Sequential (RSEQ) on a record by record
rem  * basis.
rem  *
rem  * For each record the Textual content (using Display format) and
rem  * Physical content (using Hex-Notation) will be written to the
rem  * SYSLUSER Device. Four (4) lines of information will be written
rem  * to SYSLUSER.
rem  *
rem  * 1. The 1st line identifies a possible character translation for
rem  *    an ASCII encoded data string.
rem  * 2. The 2nd line identifies the 1st nibble (bits 0-3) of each byte
rem  *    in each record.
rem  * 3. The 3rd line identifies the 2nd nibble (bits 4-7) of each byte
rem  *    in each record.
rem  * 4. The 4th line identifies a possible character translation for
rem  *    an EBCDIC encoded data string.
rem  *
rem  * This technique provides for the use of a single copy of the COBOL
rem  * source programs to be ported, compiled and executed on an IBM
rem  * Mainframe, Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
rem  *
rem  * This Job Script has been tested on a Windows system with Micro
rem  * Focus COBOL.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next 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
