Introduction
The purpose for this suite of programs is to describe and demonstrate various techniques for maintaining numeric integrity when transferring, sharing, converting or processing traditional data files or VSAM Data Sets. The numeric data will be reviewed and validated using human observation combined with programmatic totals accumulation and comparison. The techniques discussed in this document may be used on an IBM Mainframe System with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server.
This suite of programs provides an example of how to convert a sequential file with variable-length, display-oriented numeric values separated by a delimiter character (Comma-Separated-Value) into a sequential file with data strings (or records) of a fixed field length structure. The numeric values in the sequential file with fixed field length are divided into three (3) categories for BINARY, PACKED and ZONED-DECIMAL. The three (3) categories have two (2) sub-categories for SIGNED and UNSIGNED.
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.

Document Organization
This document is the 1st document of a set of three (3) documents and describes how to validate application behavior and data integrity during regression testing or user acceptance testing. Also, the technique of accumulating summary totals and record counts may be used to validate a complete and successful file transfer.
The following link is for the 2nd document in a set of three (3) documents and describes how the programs that do the data conversions and accumulate summary totals are generated.
Explore how to generate COBOL programs that will do conversion between various numeric formats such as packed-decimal, binary and zoned-decimal. To validate numeric integrity a discussion of generating programs that accumulate summary totals is included.
The following link is for the 3rd document in a set of three (3) documents and describes how the test files are created.
Explore how to create test files that contain various numeric formats such as packed-decimal, binary and zoned-decimal.
Each of the numeric categories (or formats) presents its own set of possibilities and considerations. Hyperlinks to additional documents describing additional details about the various numeric formats may be found in the Downloads and Links to Similar Pages section of this document.
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.

Numeric Integrity
This suite of programs processes six (6) User Test files to check (or validate) the numeric integrity of signed and unsigned numbers that have been defined to use three (3) different numeric formats (Binary, Packed-decimal and Zoned-decimal).
The content of the individual records will contain different text strings and numeric values. The numeric formats for each of the User Test files are physically different. However, they will produce a set of summary totals that are of an equal arithmetic value.
WIP2
BINARY Numeric Structures
The following link provides an overview (description and discussion of content and size) of BINARY (or "USAGE IS COMP") fields as they are implemented on an IBM Mainframe System or a Micro Focus environment implemented on a Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
Explore The Binary or COMP format for numeric data strings. This numeric structure is supported by COBOL and may be explicitly defined with the "USAGE IS COMP" or "USAGE IS BINARY" clause.

Data Validation Techniques
In today's environments there are a variety of data validation alternatives. This section will focus on three popular techniques. The 1st technique is Human Observation. The 2nd is a Data File Compare. The 3rd is the accumulation and review of Summary Totals.
Human Observation
One approach to application or data validation is human observation or analysis. This approach is very useful when evaluating the usability and business flow of an application.
Using this approach for data validation presents the following challenges.
| 1. | Introduces additional risk of human error. |
| 2. | May be useful for small amounts of data. As the volume of data increases the reliability of the "human observation" approach decreases. |
| 3. | Data strings with binary content are not easy to interpret and can be presented in a misleading manner when using a text editor. |
| 4. | The structure of some data strings may require specialized knowledge to properly interpret. |
| 5. | A "hexadecimal dump" presentation of the data may be required. |
Because of these challenges the "human observation" approach is considered as a "reasonability check" or "diagnostic aid". Typically, a programmatic methodology that can be automated and run without human intervention will be a requirement.
Data File Compare
The "Data File Compare" approach is very popular when doing regression testing. At the conclusion of a regression test a copy of a file that contains the "expected" results is compared with the file (actual results) created or updated during the regression test.
Summary Totals
This approach first appeared when users began running applications that created sub-totals and final totals for numeric items. The reports and totals were then manually reviewed by the finance business group. Doing this for currency values quickly became a mandatory requirement.
The use of reports produced by a application remains a very effective validation approach. However, if a problem occurs the problem determination can be very time consuming based on the size and complexity of the application code and data structures.
Therefore, a technology that will focus on the processing of the numeric structures and produce summary totals with record counts could be very useful. SimoTime has the technology to do this by generating COBOL programs that will read a file and produce summary totals based on the user selecting the fields from a COBOL copy file definition of the record layout.
Technical Details
This section provides a closer look at the system environments, component structures and processing techniques used with this suite of programs.
Member Naming Conventions
The use of a naming convention can be very helpful when organizing source members into groups based on their business purpose or technical function.
The naming convention for the Windows CMD Files,Mainframe JCL Members, Program Members and non-Relational Data Structures is as follows.

Record Structure Definitions
A COBOL Copy File is used to define the record structure for each of the test files that are used by this suite of programs.
Binary Format for Numbers
The following link describes the binary format. This numeric field format is coded in COBOL as "USAGE IS COMPUTATIONAL" and is usually coded in its abbreviated form of COMP. This may also be coded with the keyword BINARY.
Explore The Binary or COMP format for numeric data strings. This numeric structure is supported by COBOL and may be explicitly defined with the "USAGE IS COMP" or "USAGE IS BINARY" clause.
Binary Signed Values
The following source member (NUMTBSB1.cpy) is the COBOL Copy File that defines the record structure for the test file that contains the BINARY, SIGNED numeric values.

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
