Data Extract Packed and Binary Values |
The SimoTime Home Page |
This suite of test programs describes how to extract data from an ASCII-encoded, record sequential 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 existing Sequential File and writing the reformatted records to a new 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.

Convert Packed & Binary Numbers to Text Strings. |
This job performs a record content conversion from a record structure of a Fixed Field Length (FFL) format to a record structure of a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.
The following provides a list of terms or abbreviations used when referring to the various file types and record structures.
Term | Description of File Format |
---|---|
KSDS | File Format for a Key Sequencd Data Set or Indexedl File. The record structure contains a data area for the user records and an index area that contains a user defined key that is used to access the file in a sequential or randowm methodology. The record content may include text strings that conform to the ASCII or EBCDIC encoding schema. Numeric values may use a Zoned-Decimal, Packed-Decimal or Binary format.. |
LSEQ | File Format for a Line Sequential File or ASCII/Text File. By default the record content should conform to the ASCII encoding schema. |
RSEQ | File Format for a Record Sequential File. The record content may include text strings that conform to the ASCII or EBCDIC encoding schema. Numeric values may use a Zoned-Decimal, Packed-Decimal or Binary format. |
Term | Description of Record Structure and Content |
CSV | Comma Separated Values is a record structure containing variable length fields of text characters. Each field is separated by a delimiter character that is typically a comma. |
FFL | Fixed Field Length is a record structure that contains fixed length fields. Each field may contain text or binary data. |
Term | Description is a hybrid of the File Format and Record Structure |
LCSV | Line Sequential file with a CSV Record Structure. |
RFFL | Record Sequential file with a Fixed Field Length record structure. |
The preceding provides a list of terms or abbreviations used when referring to the various file types and record structures.
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.
When running the job on a Windows System with Micro Focus and using ASCII encoding the output file will be an ASCII-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 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.
This document provides a brief overview of the Micro Focus File Formats available on Linux, UNIX or Windows Systems supported by Micro Focus.
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.

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.

We appreciate hearing from you.
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
