Introduction
This suite of programs will describe and demonstrate how to generate programs that will convert between various formats such as Packed Decimal, Binary and Zoned Decimal and accumulate summary totals to ensure numeric integrity is maintained.
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 2nd document of a set of three (3) documents and describes how the programs that do the data conversions and accumulate summary totals are generated. The following provides the links to the primary document for running the test programs and a document that describes how the test files are created.
The following link is for the 1st document in 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.
Explore the numeric formats and conversion techniques for sharing numeric data between Mainframe Systems and Linux, UNIX or Windows Systems. A Mainframe System and the COBOL programming language supports a variety of different numeric formats that will be discussed in this document.
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.
File Conversion
The primary objective of this suite of programs is to read the test files and accumulate summary totals. In order to meet the primary objective it is necessary to create a set of user test files. We start this process by creating two Primary Test Files with a Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) record structure. The data strings within the records are all text characters and may be created, viewed or updated using a text editor of choice. One of the Primary Test Files will be used for signed number and the other will be used for unsigned numbers.
The Primary Test Files are then read and converted to a Fixed-Field-Length (FFL) format using a BINARY, PACKED or ZONED-Decimal format.
The conversion programs are generated using input from a Process Control File (PCF) and a COBOL Copy File (CPY). The following link provides additional information about generating the conversion programs.
Explore How to Generate a Data File Convert Program using simple specification statements in a Process Control File (PCF). This link to the User Guide includes the information necessary to create a Process Control File and generate the COBOL programs that will do the actual data file conversion. The User Guide contains a list of the PCF statements that are used for the data file convert process.
The Process Control Files are described in the following sub-sections of this document.
CSV Text to Fixed-Field-Length
Generate the programs that will convert a sequential file with a Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) record structure to a file with a Fixed-Field-Length(FFL) record structure. The text fields will be populated with text information that describes the record content and numeric field formats. The text-formatted input numeric data will be converted to the numeric format defined in the user-specified COBOL Copy File.
Process Control File for Binary Signed
The following PCF member (NUMMBS01.pcf) will be used to convert a sequential file with CSV Formatted record containing all text data to a sequential file that will contain text strings and numeric fields that use a SIGNED, BINARY (or "USAGE IS COMPUTATION") format with a Fixed-Field-Length (FFL).

Summary
This suite of programs will describe and demonstrate how to generate programs that will convert between various formats such as Packed Decimal, Binary and Zoned Decimal and accumulate summary totals to ensure numeric integrity is maintained. 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.
SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the Contact or Feedback section of this document.

Current Server or Internet Access
The following links may be to the current server or to the Internet.
Explore the Numbers Connection for additional information about the structure and processing of numeric data items (or numeric fields).
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.
Explore The Edited for Display format for numeric data strings. This numeric structure is supported by COBOL and may be used with an edit-mask to prepare the presentation for readability by human beings.
Explore The Packed-Decimal or COMP-3 format for numeric data strings. This numeric structure is supported by COBOL and may be explicitly defined with the "USAGE IS COMP-3" clause.
Explore The Zoned-Decimal format for numeric data strings. This numeric structure is the default numeric for COBOL and may be explicitly defined with the "USAGE IS DISPLAY" clause.
Explore The ASCII and EBCDIC Translation Tables. These tables are provided for individuals that need to better understand the bit structures and differences of the encoding formats.
Explore The File Status Return Codes that are used to interpret the results of accessing VSAM data sets and/or QSAM files.
Internet Access Required
The following links will require an internet connect.
This suite of programs and documentation is available to download for review and evaluation purposes. Other uses will require a SimoTime Software License. Link to an Evaluation zPAK Option that includes the program members, documentation and control files.
A good place to start is The SimoTime Home Page for access to white papers, program examples and product information. This link requires an Internet Connection

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.
