EBCDIC to ASCII Convert Use COBOL or HLASM Programs |
The SimoTime Home Page |
The primary purpose of this suite of job scripts and programs is to describe and demontrate how to convert EBCDIC encoded text string to ASCII encoded text strings. The conversion process may be executed using COBOL or HLASM (High Level Assembler) programs. The first program does the file I/O processing by reading an existing record sequential file, calling a second program to do the record content conversion and writing to a new record sequential file.
This document will describe and demonstrate how the conversion process is executed using COBOL programs or HLASM programs that will read an EBCDIC encoded record sequential file and produce an ASCII encoded record sequential file.
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.

The following is an overview of the life cycle for this suite of programs.
1. | in the early-1970's the original HLASM programs were written and executed on an IBM Mainframe System. |
1.1. | The HLASM programs were compiled using IBM Mainframe Assembler. |
1.2. | A new job script or JCL Member was created and used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs. |
2. | In 1986 the HLASM programs were converted (this task was mostly a re-write) to COBOL. |
2.1. | The COBOL programs were compiled using IBM COBOL/2. |
2.2. | A job script or JCL Member was used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs. |
3. | In 1989 the program source code that included COBOL, HLASM and JCL was copied to a Windows System. |
3.1. | The HLASM programs were compiled using Micro Focus Assembler (MF/370). |
3.1.1. | The existing job script or JCL Member was used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs in a Micro Focus Mainframe sub-System environment. |
3.1.2. | A new job script or Windows CMD File was created and used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs from a Windows CMD line without having to configure a Micro Focus Mainframe sub-System environment.. |
3.2. | The COBOL programs were compiled and tested using Micro Focus COBOL technology. |
3.2.1. | The existing job script or JCL Member was used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs in a Micro Focus Mainframe sub-System environment. |
3.2.2. | A new job script or Windows CMD File was created and used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs from a Windows CMD line without having to configure a Micro Focus Mainframe sub-System environment.. |
4. | In 2017 the source code for the COBOL programs was copied to a Linux System. |
4.1. | The COBOL programs were compiled using GnuCOBOL technology. |
4.2. | A new job script or Bash Member was created and used to prepare the job environment and execute the programs. |

Explore How to do EBC to ASC Data Conversion of an 80 byte Data Structure. The data structure contains ASCII or EBCDIC Text Strings and Numeric Values that use a Binary, Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal format. The binary strings will be bypassed, the numeric strings will be processed based on their numeric type and the text strings will be converted from EBC to ASC based on a user selected conversion table. This document will describe and demonstrate the conditional processing of individual string types within a data structure based on a COBOL copy file that defines the data structure.

We appreciate hearing from you. Company OverviewSimoTime 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
