Item Master File

EBCDIC to ASCII Convert Item Master File |
|
| The SimoTime Home Page |
Introduction
This suite of sample programs describes how to convert an EBCDIC encoded VSAM Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS) to an ASCII encoded VSAM Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS).
This is actually two COBOL programs. The first program does the File I/O of reading the EBCDIC encoded Item Master File and the writing to a new ASCII encoded Item Master File. The File I/O program calls the second program to do the EBCDIC to ASCII conversion of the records within the file. The COBOL programs were generated by SimoTime technology using a COBOL copy file that defines the record layout.. The generation of the programs is done on a Windows system running Micro Focus COBOL. However, since the generated COBOL source code is COBOL/2 compliant it may be compiled and executed on an IBM Mainframe System or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System using Micro Focus.
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.

JCL, Convert EBCDIC to ASCII
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. The following (ITME2AJ1.jcl) is a listing of the JCL member needed to run this job.

The Generated COBOL Programs
The File Copy and Record Content conversion process uses two COBOL programs. The first program is the File I/O program that does the file copy. The record content conversion is accomplished by the I/O program calling a second program that does the record content conversion.
COBOL, the I/O Program
The following (ITME2AC1.cbl) is the COBOL I/O program that was generated with SimoTime technology. The program was tested using Micro Focus Enterprise Server on Windows/XP. The program were successfully executed in both an EBCDIC and ASCII encoded configuration.

Summary
The purpose of this program is to provide an example of how to convert an EBCDIC-encoded Indexed file to an ASCII-encoded Indexed file and maintain mainframe numeric integrity. 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
