Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This suite of sample programs will show an approach to the task of File format conversion between Line Sequential and Record Sequential files. Also, record content conversion between ASCII and EBCDIC will be discussed. This example uses sequential files with 80-byte records. The following terms and abbreviations will be used in this document.

Terms or Abbreviations Descriptions
File Format Conversion This term is used when the task involved requires a conversion of the physical file format. For example, a conversion between a Record Sequential file and a Line Sequential file or a conversion between a sequential file and a VSAM, KSDS.
Record Content Conversion This term is used when the task involved requires a conversion of the record content or format. For example, a conversion between EBCDIC-encoding and ASCII-encoding would be considered as record content conversion.
RSEQ This is an abbreviation for Record Sequential.
Record Sequential This type of file may contain any of the 256-byte character set and be referred to as a BINARY-encoded file. A programmer may limit the format of the data stored in the records within the file to EBCDIC-encoded or ASCII-encoded display characters. This type of file may contain fixed or variable length records. In the suite of sample programs fixed-length records of 80 bytes will be used. The records are concatenated one after the other without a record separator. Therefore, the total size of the file must be a multiple of the fixed-record length.
LSEQ This is an abbreviation for Line Sequential.
Line Sequential This is another term used for an ASCII/Text file.
ASCII/Text This type of file contains ASCII-encoded records. The length of the records within the file may vary in size. The records are separated by a record separator bytes. For Windows the record separator is two (2) bytes consisting of x'0D0A'. This string may be referred to as a Carriage-Return, Line-Feed (or CRLF). This type of file may be edited using Windows and the NotePAD text editor.
  Terms and Abbreviations used in this Document

Applications running on a mainframe system typically create, read and update record sequential files. These files are EBCDIC encoded and typically contain records of fixed length with fields of fixed length. When transferring or sharing data between a Mainframe System and a Windows System running a Micro Focus sub-system it usually requires a file format and/or a file content conversion.

This link provides additional detail for  Micro Focus Files and various Numeric Formats  being used in a multi-system complex consisting of Mainframe (z/OS), Linux, UNIX or Windows environments.

This suite of sample programs will describe possible approaches for the data file conversion process. However, in order to convert a file we need to have a file that has been populated with data. There are two choices, use an existing data file or create a new data file. This example contains a Windows command file that will create a number of sequential files starting with the creation of an ASCII/Text file that is populated with data. This file is then converted to other file formats with ASCII or EBCDIC encoded content. The following section will describe this process.


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 Command Files for the Application

The following Microsoft Windows Command Files (referred to as scripts) will describe how to create an initial file with data and then convert this file to many other formats. Some of the scripts will run COBOL programs that have been compiled with Micro Focus Net Express. The COBOL programs were generated by the SimoTime Conversion technologies.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Create the Sequential Test Files

The following (D80CRTW1.cmd) is the Windows Command file that uses the Microsoft "ECHO" command to pipe instream data to an ASCII/Text file. Once the LSEQ file (or ASCII/Text file) is created it is used as input to create a Record Sequential (RSEQ) file of 80-byte, ASCII-encoded records. Next, the Line Sequential (LSEQ or ASCII/Text) file is read a second time. The record content is converted from ASCII to EBCDIC. A new Record Sequential (RSEQ) file is created with the EBCDIC-encoded records.

      * This program was created with the SYSMASK1.TXT file as input. *

      * If the output file is indexed then the input file must be in  *
      * sequence by the field that will be used to provide the key    *
      * for the output file. This is a sequential load process.       *

      * If the key field is not in sequence then refer to SYSMASK2    *
      * to provide for a random add or update of the indexed file.    *

      * The SYSMASK1 provides for the sequential reading of the input *
      * file and the sequential writing of the output file.           *
      *                                                               *
      * If the output file is indexed then the input file must be in  *
      * sequence by the field that will be used to provide the key    *
      * for the output file. This is a sequential load process.       *
      *                                                               *
      * If the key field is not in sequence then refer to SYSMASK2    *
      * to provide for a random add or update of the indexed file.    *
      *                                                               *
      * This program mask will have the ASCII/EBCDIC table inserted   *
      * for use by the /TRANSLATE function of SimoZAPS.               *
      *                                                               *

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
