Hexadecimal Dump Sequential File, 256-byte Records |
|
| The SimoTime Home Page |
Introduction
This suite of programs performs Sequential File I/O and HEX-Dump formatting (or hexadecimal display) of a Sequential File containing 256-Byte, fixed-length records using Micro Focus COBOL. The COBOL programs read the sequential file and dumps the input records to an output file in Hexadecimal format. This suite of programs will run on a Mainframe System with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Developer/Server.
This document will focus on how to create hexadecimal dump information and is 1 of 5 documents from the following list.
The following is a list of the five (5) documents included in this model for data management functions of non-relational data structures. The functions include data conversion (file structure and record content), record presentation in hexadecimal format with possible ASCII and EBCDIC character translations and the accumulation of summary totals with record counts.
Explore the ASCII and EBCDIC data conversion techniques for a file that contains text strings and numeric fields of various formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. A Mainframe System and the COBOL programming language supports a variety of different numeric formats that will be discussed in this document.
Explore how to create hexadecimal dump information of the records in a sequential file. The records may contain text strings and numeric fields of various formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. In addition to the Hex-Dump information the possible ASCII and EBCDIC character will be identified.
Explore how to accumulate summary totals for currency or numeric fields that are defined (or formatted) as Binary, Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal. The record count is included as one of the summary totals.
Explore how to create a file that contains text and binary data. This document describes a model for creating a record sequential file that contains text strings that use EBCDIC or ASCII encoding and various numeric formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. This model has the capability of creating a test file for an ASCII or EBCDIC encoded environment. This document will address many of the challenges of doing a record content conversion of a file that will be transferred between an EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System and an ASCII-encoded Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
Explore how to generate programs (or COBOL source code) to perform various data management functions for non-relational data structures. The functions described in this document include data conversion (file structure and record content), hexadecimal dumps and summary totals accumulation.
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.

Programming Overview
The following is a flowchart of the job for executing the HEX-Dump programs.
The main program (HXR256C1) will read a Sequential file containing 256-byte, fixed-length records and write a block of records containing Hex-Dump formatted information to an output file. The source code for the CMD file, the JCL member and the COBOL programs is provided and may need to be modified to compile and execute in your environment. Color Associations: The

Data Input and Output
The following sub-sections describe the hex-dump information is presented to the user.
Data Input
The input is a record sequential file containing fixed-length records. The record length is 256 bytes. The records contain text strings and various numeric values that are defined as binary, packed-decimal or zoned-decimal (COMPUTATIONAL, COMPUTATIONAL-3 or USAGE IS DISPLAY).
Data Output from EBCDIC-encoded File
The hexadecimal dump for a data file is presented as five (5) lines of information. The 1st line is a position indicator. The 2nd line is the possible character interpretation for an ASCII encoding schema. The 3rd line is the hexadecimal value (0-9 and A-F) for the high-order nibble (or first 4 bits) of the byte. The 4th line is the hexadecimal value (0-9 and A-F) for the low-order nibble (or second 4 bits) of the byte. The 5th line is the possible character interpretation for an EBCDIC encoding schema.
The following is an example of a hex-dump for an EBCDIC encoded file.

The hexadecimal dump for a data file is presented as five (5) lines of information. The 1st line is a position indicator. The 2nd line is the possible character interpretation for an ASCII encoding schema. The 3rd line is the hexadecimal value (0-9 and A-F) for the high-order nibble (or first 4 bits) of the byte. The 4th line is the hexadecimal value (0-9 and A-F) for the low-order nibble (or second 4 bits) of the byte. The 5th line is the possible character interpretation for an EBCDIC encoding schema.

Summary
The purpose of this program is to provide examples for accessing a Sequential file and creating a new Sequential file containing Hexadecimal Dump information. 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.

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
