EBCDIC to ASCII Convert Customer File, Sequential to VSAM, KSDS |

Introduction
This suite of programs describes how to convert an EBCDIC encoded Record Sequential File to an ASCII encoded VSAM Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS). The SIMOTIME Utility program is used to accomplish this task. The utility program does not actually do the conversion. It generates two (2) COBOL programs that are capable of doing both file format and record content conversion.
The first program does the File I/O (i.e. file format conversion) of reading the EBCDIC encoded Sequential File and writing the new ASCII encoded Customer Master File. The File I/O program calls the second program (i.e. record content conversion) to do the EBCDIC to ASCII conversion of the records within the file. The COBOL programs were generated by SIMOTIME technology using a COBOL copy file that defines the record layout.
The following outline describes some of the systems that are used by SIMOTIME during the development and testing processes.
| 1. | The program compilation and execution is done on an IBM Mainframe System with Enterprise COBOL. |
| 1.1. | The Mainframe System uses EBCDIC-encoding. |
| 1.2. | The Mainframe Operating System is ZOS. |
| 2. | The program generation, compilation and execution is done on a Linux (Ubuntu) System with GnuCOBOL. |
| 2.1. | The Linux System uses ASCII-encoding. |
| 2.2. | The Linux Operating System is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. |
| 2.3. | GnuCOBOL (cobc) is configured to use a Mainframe Dialect and ASCII-encoding. |
| 3. | The program generation, compilation and execution is done on a Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Developer. |
| 3.1. | The Windows System uses ASCII-encoding. |
| 3.2. | The Windows Operating System is Windows/7. |
| 3.3. | For the Micro Focus COBOL environment the programs may be compiled using a Mainframe dialect with the CHARSET(EBCDIC) or CHARSET(ASCII) compiler directives. |
| 3.4. | If the programs are compiled using a non-Mainframe dialect the IBMCOMP directive must be used since the customer master file contains binary (or COMP) fields. |
The preceding outline is a partial list of Systems and COBOL technologies that may be used to generate, compile and execute the programs. The generation process is only supported for the Windows and Linux environments. The generated COBOL source code may be Copied, Compiled and Executed on other systems.
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.

Job Scripts
A job script may be defined as a text file containing job setup information followed by job steps that identify programs to be executed along with parameters unique to the job step. A job script may be created using a text editor. The naming of a job script is determined by the Operating System. A simple job script may contain a single job step that performs a single function. A typical job script will contain multiple job steps executed in a predefined sequence. The status of each job step may be tested at the end of each job step.
JCL Member
The term Mainframe-Oriented refers to an actual IBM Mainframe, Micro Focus Mainframe Express or Micro Focus Enterprise Server with the Mainframe Transaction Option and the Batch Facility. The following (CUREKAJ1.jcl) is a listing of the JCL member needed to run this job.

The Generated COBOL Programs
The following is the source code that was generated for the conversion process. The programs were generated and tested using Micro Focus Enterprise Server on Windows System. The programs were successfully executed in both an EBCDIC and ASCII encoded configuration.
File Format Convert
The following (CUREKAC1.cbl) is the COBOL I/O program that was generated with SimoTime technology.

Summary
The purpose of this program is to provide an example of how to convert an EBCDIC-encoded Indexed file to an ASCII-encoded Indexed file and maintain mainframe numeric integrity. This document may be used 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.

Explore How to Create Hexadecimal Dump information for the records in a Customer Master file. The Customer Master file is a VSAM, KSDS. This document describes a process for generating a single COBOL program that will read a VSAM/KSDS and write hexadecimal dump information to a sequential file. The user may define the records to be dumped by providing a list of primary keys in a control file. The Hex-Dump information is written to a user-defined sequential file. The Hex-Dump formatting and file I-O are done within the generated COBOL program. The Hex-Dump formatting provides a record structure containing all text characters. Therefore, the contents may be easily viewed using a text editor of choice.

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
