Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This document provides a listing of the COBOL source code for the CP80RSC3 Utility Program. The requirement for this example is to execute a data file compare program that will compare two sequential files with eighty byte records. The compare program will need to be compiled and executed on an IBM Mainframe or a Micro Focus environment running on Linux, UNIX or Windows.

Additional information about this program may be obtained by sending an e-mail to: helpdesk@simotime.com .

Note: This compare program was generated using the SimoZAPS Utility program. SimoZAPS will generate the COBOL source code for a program that will compare two data files. The generated program may be compiled and executed in a Mainframe or Micro Focus environment.


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 CP80RSC3, What It Does

The CP80RSC3 will compare the content of two data files. Each file is a record sequential file with 80 byte, fixed length records. The positions within each record to be compared are defined at execution time within a control file. The results are written to the JES Output Spool and to a log file.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section CP80RSC3, How To Use

This example includes a JCL Member that describes the steps to create the sample data files and execute the compare program. The following flow chart shows an overview of the process.

Note-1: A callable program that does the dump formatting on a NOT Equal condition.
Note-2: Optional feature that writes to a log file.
A Record-by-Record Compare of Two Data Files with Record Positions Defined in a Control File

The control file (SYSUT3) contains one record that defines the positions within the data files to be compared. The following shows a sample control file record.

/COMPARE SYSUT1 POS 23 LEN 58  SYSUT2 POS 23 LEN 58

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Sample Output when NOT Equal

The following is an example of the output when a NOT Equal condition occurs during the compare processing.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Summary

This Job will compare two sequential files with eighty byte records. The positions within the record to be compared are determined at execution time by a user-defined parameter file. 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, Comment or Feedback  section of this document.

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
