Customer File - VSAM, KSDS Extract Fixed Field, Convert to CSV |

Introduction
This suite of sample programs describes how to extract data from the Customer Master File. The numeric fields will be expanded (Packed or Binary) and the trailing spaces within the text fields will be truncated. A new record will be constructed with the fields being concatenated and separated by a comma. The newly constructed record will be written to a sequential file. The file may now be transferred from the mainframe to a Windows system using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and easily imported into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, an Access Data Base or other SQL Data Bases.
The extract of data by fields within the record and the reformatting of the output records is actually accomplished with two COBOL programs. The first program does the File I/O of reading the Customer Master File and writing reformatted records to a sequential file. The File I/O program calls the second program to do the record formatting that expands the numeric fields and does blank truncation on the text fields and then places a comma between the fields as the field delimiter. The COBOL programs were generated using SimoTime technology.
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.

Abbreviations
This test case will be extracting data from a VSAM, KSDS. The extracted data will be converted and written to a sequential file. The extraction/conversion process will do a file format and a record content conversion. The following is a list of the abbreviations used when referring to the various file types and record structures.
The following table is a list of terms or abbreviations used within this document.
| Abbreviation | Description |
| CSV | Comma Separated Values - refers to a record structure that contains a group of concatenated data fields or text strings. The fields are separated or delimited by a comma. |
| FFL | Fixed Field Length - refers to a record structure that contains a group of concatenated data fields. Each field may contain text or binary data. Numeric values may be structured in a varielty of formats that include Binary, Packed-decimal or Zoned decimal. There are no field separator or field delimiter characters between the fields. |
| KSDS | Keyed Sequential Data Set - This is a type of VSAM (Virtual Sequential Access Method) data set. Records are in collating sequence by a key field and alternate indexes are allowed. Note: If the key field is alpha-numeric the collating sequence will be different between the EBCDIC-encoded and ASCII-encoded environments. For additional information about VSAM refer to an internet reference at http://www.simotime.com/indexsam.htm or a local reference at indexsam.htm |
| LSEQ | Line Sequential files are ASCII/Text files. Depending on how the file is created it may have fixed or variable length records. The separation of the individual records is maintained by the use of delimiter bytes between the records. For Windows this is usually a two byte value consisting of a Carriage-Return and Line-Feed (or CRLF), the hexadecimal notation is x'0D' and x'0A'. For UNIX systems this is usually a one byte value consisting of a Line-Feed (or LF), the hexadecimal notation is x'0A'. The record content for Line Sequential files should be display or print text using the ASCII encoding format. Hence the name ASCII/Text files. These files should not contain packed or binary data strings. |
| RSEQ | A Record Sequential file may contain fixed-length records or variable-length records. The record sequential files with fixed-length records are a series of concatenated records or data strings of a predefined length without record separator values between each record. The first byte of the first record starts at the first byte of the file. A record sequential file with variable-length records is a series of concatenated records or data strings of varying lengths without record separator values between each record. Each record is preceded by a record descriptor word (RDW) that defines the length of the record that follows. A Micro Focus header record is placed at the start of the file when the file is created. |
| VSAM | Virtual Sequential Access Method - A data access method used with IBM Mainframes running MVS, OS/390, z/OS and VSE/ESA operating systems. VSAM has been in use for over 30 years. The original VSAM had a 4-gigabyte limit for the size of data sets. IBM has enhanced VSAM to support record-level sharing and file sizes larger than 4 gigabytes. The current architectural limit varies according to the size of the data control intervals (CI's). For a 512-byte CI size, the maximum size is 2 terabytes; for a KSDS with a CI size of 32 kilobytes, the maximum size is 128 terabytes. For additional information about VSAM refer to an internet reference at http://www.simotime.com/indexsam.htm or a local reference at indexsam.htm |
Possibilities and Considerations
When running this job on a Mainframe System the output file will be an EBCDIC-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. This file may be downloaded from the mainframe to a Windows system using FTP in ASCII mode. Since the output file is all text it will be properly converted from EBCDIC to ASCII during the file transfer (FTP) process. It will also be converted from a Record-Sequential file to a Line-Sequential file (Micro Focus terminology for ASCII/Text File). The file is now ready to import into an Excel spreadsheet, an Access Data Base or other SQL Data Bases.
When running the job on a Windows System with Micro Focus and using EBCDIC encoding the output file will be an EBCDIC-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. Since we no longer use the FTP process to transfer the file we no longer have the benefit of the FTP process doing the file-format and record-content conversion. Therefore, we need an alternative method for doing the file format conversion from record-sequential to line-sequential and the record content conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII. Refer to the File-Format and Record-Content Conversion Program for more information.

The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. Since we no longer use the FTP process to transfer the file and we no longer have the benefit of the FTP process doing the file-format conversion (since we are running in an ASCII-encoded configuration the file-content conversion is not a requirement). Therefore, we need an alternative method for doing the file format conversion from record-sequential to line-sequential. Refer to the File-Format Conversion Program for more information.
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.
This document provides a brief overview of the Micro Focus File Formats available on Linux, UNIX or Windows Systems supported by Micro Focus.
JCL Members
JCL Members are batch processing scripts that are intended to run on a Mainframe-Oriented System. The term Mainframe-Oriented refers to an actual IBM Mainframe, a Windows System with Micro Focus Mainframe Express or a Micro Focus Enterprise Server with the Mainframe Transaction Option and the Batch Facility.

The Program Generation Process
The following two sections describe the input files that are required for the program generation process.
The Process Control File
The Process Control File will be used to generate the COBOL programs that will extract data from the customer master file and create a record sequential with the fields separated by a comma. The input file (CUSTMAST.dat) is a Micro Focus Key-Sequenced file. The output file may be easily imported into an Excel spread sheet. The following (CUSEXT01.pcf) shows the content of the Process Control File.

HTML Document for Record Structure
The SimoTime Technologies have the ability to scan a COBOL copy file and create an HTML document of a record structure or record layout. The HTML documentation provides information that is not easy to obtain by viewing the COBOL copy file. For example, the physical position of a field within a record as calculated during the copy file scan and placed in the HTML document.
Explore the Record Structure for the Customer Master File by viewing a generated HTML document based on a User-Defined COBOL copyfile.

Explore How to Convert a Comma-Separated-Values Record Structure to a Fixed-Field-Length Record Structure. This technique may be used to import data into a VSAM, Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS) with a record structure that uses fixed-length fields. The CSV format may be accessed by Microsoft Excel or loaded into a relational data base.
Explore How to Generate a Data File Convert Program using simple specification statements in a Process Control File (PCF). This link to the User Guide includes the information necessary to create a Process Control File and generate the COBOL programs that will do the actual data file conversion. The User Guide contains a list of the PCF statements that are used for the data file convert process.
Explore the capabilities of the SimoZAPS Utility Program. This includes generating a COBOL program that will do the conversion of sequential and VSAM (KSDS) files between EBCDIC and ASCII while maintaining mainframe (or COBOL) numeric formats and integrity. SimoZAPS can also read a sequential file in EBCDIC format and create an ASCII/CRLF file or VSAM KSDS file in ASCII format. The conversion tables may be viewed or modified to meet unique requirements. The Hexcess/2 function provides the capability of viewing, finding or patching the contents of a file in hexadecimal.

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
