Introduction
When data files are transferred or shared between systems the ability to do data file compares and data processing confirmation becomes a requirement. This document and the associated test cases will describe and demonstrate a minimum set of alternatives for the file compare or data validation processes. This suite of programs contains a test case with a call to do record conversion prior to performing the compare function.
The following shows the logic flow of the compare process using the generated COBOL program.

Test Cases, Data Validation
This section will focus on the test cases (process and procedures) that execute the data file comparison and data file confirmation processes.
Note: The records in the Master File and Test Files contain a date and time stamp. This information is located at positions 95 - 110 of each record. Since this information may be different the test cases will only compare positions 1-94.
Compare (NE), EBCDIC & ASCII
This Test Case will attempt a physical compare of the first 94 bytes of each record in an EBCDIC-encoded sequential file and an ASCII-encoded Indexed file. This test case will obviously produce a "Not Equal" result.
| ||||||||||||
| Objectives for Test Case One |
Since this test case does a physical compare and the files use different encoding schemas the result will be a "NOT Equal" condition. The compare process will terminate with a user-defined, non-zero return code. Information will be posted to SYSOUT and written to the SYSLOG File.
Convert Prior to a Compare (EQ)
This Test Case will do a compare of the first 94 bytes of each record in an EBCDIC-encoded sequential file and an ASCII-encoded Indexed file. However, prior to doing the compare a call to a user-defined program will be executed. The user-defined program will convert the EBCDIC-encoded record to ASCII-encoding. The compare should then produce an "Equal" result.

| Objectives for Test Case Two |
Note: The user-defined program that is called to do the record level conversion from EBCDIC to ASII is generated using SimoTime Technologies.
Typical Physical Compare (EQ)
This test case will show what happens when things go as expected.

Compute User-Defined Summary Totals
The process of calculating record counts and user defined check sums is referred to as the confirmation or verification process. The confirmation process is especially useful when transferring data from a Mainframe System to a Linux, UNIX or Windows system. The programs that do confirmation tasks are generated by SimoTime technologies.

JCL Members, Data Validation
This section will focus on the JCL Members that execute the file compare and file confirm processes. The compare process will compare the content of two data files on a record-by-record basis. The confirm process will read a data file and accumulate check sums for user-defined numeric fields.
The first JCL Member will compare two files that contain the same business information but use different encoding schemas.
The second JCL Member will compare two files that have a difference embedded within the files. The Data File Compare program will find the difference and produce a NOT-Equal result.
The third JCL Member will compare two files that have different record counts. The Data File Compare program will identify the difference and produce a NOT-Equal result with record counts.
The fourth JCL Member will compare two files that have a difference embedded within the files. The Data File Compare program will find the difference and produce a NOT-Equal result.
The fifth, sixth and seventh JCL Members will create and compare the Check Sum Files.
The eighth JCL Member will describe and demonstrate how to create a SYSLOG File.
1. Compare (NE), EBCDIC & ASCII
This JCL Member (ITCOMPJ1.jcl) will compare an EBDIC-encoded sequential file with an ASCII-encoded Indexed file. The job execution will abnormally (ABEND) terminate with a non-zero return code. Information will be posted to the SYSOUT device and SYSLOG file.

8. Create a New Log File
The Compare and Confirm process have an option to write program execution results to a log file. This log file is a sequential file with variable length records. The file is continually added to as compare or confirm programs are executed. A user may create or reset a log file by using the following JCL Member and JCL Procedure.
8.1 Batch Job, Create a New Log File
This JCL Member (SYSLOGV8.jcl) will create a new log file.

Item Files for Testing
To execute the test cases will require test data. This section provides the information needed to create the test files.
Create a New Item Test File (VSAM/KSDS)
An Item Master File is required for the Test Cases. The following link will describe and demonstrate how to create a small file for testing purposes.
Explore How to Create and Populate an Item Master File with generic test data. This document describes a simple process for creating test data for an Item Master File. The Item Master file contains variable length records with the minimum and average record length being the same length of 512 bytes. The key starts in the first position of the record and is 12 bytes in length.
Make a Copy for a Baseline Reference
The following job (ITCOPYJ1.jcl) uses the REPRO function of IDCAMS to create a copy of the Item Master File.

Generate Data Validation Programs
The compare and confirm programs used in this suite of test cases were generated by SimoTime technologies. The SimoTime technology requires a baseline of information in order to generate programs. This baseline information is provided in a Process Control File (or PCF file). This following sections of this document will describe the PCF files.
Compare for a Sequential & an Indexed File
The following PCF file (ITCOMP01.pcf) will generate a program that will compare the records in a sequential file with the records in an indexed file. The positions in the records to be compared will be determined at execution time by using a control or parameter file (SYSUT3).

Compare with a User Call to Convert
The following PCF file (ITCOMP02.pcf) will generate a program that will compare the EBCDIC-encoded records in a sequential file with the ASCII-encoded records in an indexed file. The positions in the records to be compared will be determined at execution time by using a control or parameter file (SYSUT3).
After reading a record in the EBCDIC-encoded file a user-program will be called to convert the record to ASCII-encoding. The subsequent compare should produce an "Equal" result.
Note: The user-program that does the record content conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII may be generated by SimoTime technologies.

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
