Introduction
This is an example of how a set of two COBOL programs can read an ASCII-encoded Indexed file with a fixed-length-field record structure with COMP and COMP-3 numeric formats and write to a Sequential ASCII/Text file with a record structure that contains fixed-length-fields of all text.
This suite of programs will describe and demonstrate an approach to changing the record content (or record structure) so that all the various packed and binary fields (COMP or COMP-3 fields) will be expanded into a full-text format. Another formatting issue that is addressed is the numeric formats that have the sign embedded as part of the numeric structure. The new format will have a separate byte following the numeric value that will be an explicit sign.
Note: Converting the COMP and COMP-3 fields will result in larger field sizes and larger record sizes. Using a separate byte for an explicit sign will also increase the size of the record. Also, inserting the record separator characters between the records will increase the overall size of the file.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This set of programs is provided as a COBOL example of one of the possible solutions to the problem of changing the contents and structure of data files.
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.

ASCII-Indexed to ASCII/Text
The file management capabilities provided by Micro Focus in the Linux, UNIX and Windows environments support various file formats and the numeric formats supported by the COBOL ANSI standards. Both an EBCDIC and/or ASCII encoded format is supported.
Explore the File Formats and various Numeric Formats being used in a multi-system complex consisting of Mainframe (z/OS), Linux, UNIX or Windows systems.
CMD, Generate COBOL Source Code
The following CMD file DXCONVW1.cmd is used to generate (or create) the COBOL source code. This process uses the UTCONVRT utility program to do the actual program generation.

Record Structure, a COBOL Copy File
Two (2) COBOL copy files are required to generate programs that do field-format conversion. This process will convert a numeric packed or binary (COMP-3 or COMP) field to a new display-oriented field. If the numeric field is defined as "signed" then a "SIGN TRAILING SEPARATE" will be added to the new field definition statement.
CUSTMAST with Packed & Binary

The Generated COBOL Source Code
The generation process will create two (2) COBOL programs. The primary program will read the Customer Master File (a VSAM, KSDS), call the second program to do the conversion of the numeric fields and then write to a Line Sequential (or ASCII/Text) file using the converted record structure.
File Format Convert, KSDS to ASCII/Text
The following member (CUMKTXC5.cbl) is the generated source code for the program that does the file I/O and file format conversion.

* the conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII. *
* *
* inspect FIELD-NAME converting EBCDIC-INFO to ASCII-INFO *
* inspect FIELD-NAME converting ASCII-INFO to EBCDIC-INFO *
* *
* The tables include the alphabet for upper and lower case, the *

* codes for A, E, I, O, and U with the appropriate acute, *
* grave, umlaut, circumflex and tilde. *
* To display the alternate codes the Courier New (Fixed) or *
* Times New Roman (Proportional) font should be used. *
* *
* SimoZAPS contains four tables that may be used for various *
* Upper/Lower Case or EBCDIC/ASCII conversion requirements. *
* ASCEBCB1.CPY - includes a full character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters *
* and alternate codes for characters with the *
* acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and circumflex. *
* Caution: this table does not convert the Y *
* characters with an umlat. *
* ASCEBCB2.CPY - includes the character set for the translation *
* between EBCDIC/ASCII of signed/unsigned, *
* zoned-decimal, numeric fields. *
* ASCEBCB3.CPY - includes the character set for the alternate *
* codes with the acute, grave, umlaut, tilde and *
* circumflex. This is primarily used for case *
* conversion. *
* Note: this table converts the Y characters *
* with an umlat, this will convert high-values *
* X'FF' to X'DF' *
* ASCEBCB4.CPY - includes the character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters. *
* This is primarily used in the US where the *
* alternate codes may not be required. *
* ASCEBCB5.CPY - includes a full character set for the alphabet *
* (upper/lower case), digit, special characters *
* and alternate codes for characters with the *

Summary
This is an example of how a set of two COBOL programs can read an ASCII-encoded Indexed file with a fixed-length-field record structure with COMP and COMP-3 numeric formats and write to a Sequential ASCII/Text file with a record structure that contains fixed-length-fields of all text. This document may serve 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 or Feedback section of this document.

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
