Introduction
The primary purpose of this suite of programs and procedures is to provide the information required to build a Customer Master File that may be used in the test and development environment. The names and addresses should not be associated with any real person. The primary pieces of customer information are stored in various Excel spreadsheets and saved in the Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) format.
The following is a list of the files that are created from the Excel spreadsheet data.
| ||||||||||||
| List of the Input Files used when Generating a Customer Master File for Testing |
The CSV Files are read and converted to Record Sequential files with fixed-field and fixed-record lengths.
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.

CMD Files, CSV to Fixed-Field Format
This suite has six (6) command file scripts. The primary command sets the environment and calls the five (5) secondary commands that perform the tasks of converting the CSV formatted files to sequential files with fixed-field-length (FFL) format.

Data Files
As stated earlier the primary purpose of this suite of programs and procedures is to provide the information required to build a Customer Master File that may be used in the test and development environment. The names and addresses should not be associated with any real person. To do this a number of secondary files are used. There are three files that contain people names (First names for Females, First names for males and last names). There is a file for street names and the street numbers are randomly generated. There is a file of City, State and Postal Codes that is what may be obtained from the Postal Service. There is a Control File that may be configured to determine program behavior and what options are enabled.
The following sections will describe these secondary files.
People Names
There are three (3) files containing "First and Last Names" for individuals. The female first names, male first names and last names are in separate files. The format of the files are the same.
The following COBOL copy file (OBF632B1.cpy) shows the record structure for the files containing people names.

First Names File for Females
This is a record sequential file containing fixed length records of 32 bytes. The first six positions of each record is a sequence number. Positions 7-32 is a 26 byte text string containing a female first name. The first name is left-justified with trailing spaces.
First Names File for Males
This is a record sequential files containing fixed length records of 32 bytes. The first six positions of each record is a sequence number. Positions 7-32 is a 26 byte text string containing a male first name. The first name is left-justified with trailing spaces.
The Last Names File
This is a record sequential file containing fixed length records of 32 bytes. The first six positions of each record is a sequence number. Positions 7-32 is a 26 byte text string containing a last name. The last name is left-justified with trailing spaces.
The Street Names File
This is a record sequential file containing fixed length records of 80 bytes. The first six positions of each record is a sequence number. Positions 7-80 is a 74 byte text string containing a street name. The street name is left-justified with trailing spaces.
The following COBOL copy file (OBF680B1.cpy) shows the record structure for the files containing street names.

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
