Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

The MFCATPOP Utility Program will read a record sequential file containing a list of names and properties for various data structures (i.e. PDS's, GDG's, Sequential Data Files and VSAM Data Sets)and create catalog entries in the Micro Focus catalog. This is done by submitting JCL (via the internal reader) that is generated by this utility program or user-defined by specifying a JCL member name.

This document describes the functions provided by the MFCATPOP program that does the actual population of a Micro Focus catalog by generating and submitting JCL to the Internal Reader (INTRDR). A higher-level perspective of the catalog migration process is provided in a separate document. This information is available via an Internet Connection or Local Access. * HTMGENER Generate HTML Member from CSV File v23.01.01 he

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section MFCATPOP, Input and Output

The following shows a list of the files processed by the MFCATPOP Program.

File Name Description
LONAPFFL This is the logical file name used by the program and is usually mapped to a physical file name with a ".DAT" extension so that it can be easily accessed by a user COBOL program. The File Format is Record Sequential. The records in the file are fixed length with Fixed Field Length (or FFL) format.
BEHAVIOR This is the logical file name used by the program and is usually mapped to a physical file name with a "DAT" extension. An alternate is to use a PDS Member. The BEHAVIOR file is used to set the flags that determine program behavior and tracing function. The File Format is Record Sequential . The records in the file are fixed length with Fixed Field Length (or FFL) format.
SUBTORDR This is the logical file name used by the program and is mapped to INTRDR (or the Internal Reader). The File Format is Record Sequential . The records in the file are a fixed length of 80 bytes. Each record contains a JCL statement that is generated by the program or is obtained from a user-defined JCL Member.
SUBTRACE This is the logical file name used by the program and is usually mapped to a physical file name with a ".DAT" extension so that it can be easily accessed by a user COBOL program. The File Format is Record Sequential. The records in the file are fixed length with Fixed Field Length (or FFL) format. It is a trace file of the JCL that was submitted via the internal reader.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Preparation and Technical Details

This section provides additional technical detail and describes some of the preparation tasks required when generating, submitting and executing jobs to populate a system catalog for the Micro Focus environment.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section The Behavior File

The "Behavior File" contains program control information. Each record in the file has a keyword or set of keywords that will enable or disable a function within the MFCATPOP program.

Keywords Description of Parameter
CNTL.INTRDR= Y or N, a "Y" will enable the function that will submit the job to the Internal Reader (INTRDR). An "N" will disable the function to submit the job to the INTRDR. The default is "Y".
CNTL.SUBTRACE= Y or N, a "Y" will enable the function that will write the generated JCL statements to a trace file.. An "N" will disable the function that writes generated JCL statements to a trace file. The default is "Y".
CNTL.ESDS.DELETE= Y or N, the MFCATPOP program generates JCL to execute IDCAMS to do an optional DELETE and a DEFINE for a VSAM, ESDS. The default is "N" and will do only the DEFINE. A "Y" will cause the DELETE statement for IDCAMS to be generated.
CNTL.KSDS.DELETE= Y or N, the MFCATPOP program generates JCL to execute IDCAMS to do an optional DELETE and a DEFINE for a VSAM, KSDS. The default is "N" and will do only the DEFINE. A "Y" will cause the DELETE statement for IDCAMS to be generated.
JOB.CLASS= The equal sign may be followed by any valid Job Class (a single number or letter). The single number or letter will be used when the Job Card is generated.
  Keywords and Parameters that control Program Behavior

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section List of Names and Properties

The utility programs used in this approach to creating catalog entries will process a file containing a List Of Names And Properties (referred to as the LONAP files). The information in the LONAP files is maintained in various Excel spread sheets and saved to a file using the Comma-Separated-Values (or CSV) format.

However, since this approach is typically used in a mainframe-oriented, COBOL-oriented environment a processing step has been included to convert the CSV files that contain the list of names and properties to a sequential files with the traditional fixed field length and fixed record length format. This provides the COBOL application programmers with access to the information in a format that is familiar and easy to use.

The following COBOL Copy File (LONAPFFL.cpy) shows the record layout for the Record Sequential File with a Fixed Field Format

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section 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
