Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

The primary objective for this test case is to describe and demonstrate techniques for maintaining and validating data integrity in a multi-system, multi-user environment. This includes data file convert, compare and numeric checking. The techniques are used to validate and review data as it moves through various transition processes. Also, the tools may be used as in problem determination effort when an unexpected condition occurs such as a S0C7 or RTS163 (or RTS 163) error occurs. When files are transferred between systems the transfer process may require additional validation. The conversion process may need to execute on systems of different architectures. Therefore, the validation techniques will have the same requirements. This process will include the assessment, preparation, mapping, execution, and validation of data in a pre and post transition or sharing of data and possible sharing of processing segments.

Also, this includes data file convert, compare, review and numeric checking. The review process via human observation may be enhanced by presenting the record content in a format that includes text format of possible ASCII or EBCDIC characters along with a Hexadecimal dump format. The techniques are used to validate and review data as it moves through various transition processes. Also, the tools may be used in a problem determination effort when an unexpected condition such as a S0C7 or RTS163 error occurs.

This Test Case will describe and demonstrate a series of programs that will convert the file format and record content for files with records containing 80 byte logical records. The files are commonly referred to as card files or control files. This reference is based on an historical beginning that used 80 column cards and small decks of cards that contained control information. This information was used to determine the behavior of a utility program or a user written program.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Identify Numeric Variances

This job script will access a record sequential File (RSEQ) that will be opened for input with a read-only capability. The fixed length, 80 byte record structure contains concatenated ASCII-encoded text strings and numeric values that are stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal or Zoned-Decimal format.

The numeric strings within the input file (SYSUT1) should contain corrupted values. The program will check the content of a numeric string for proper numeric values and avoid the error message of S0C7 or RTS163. The record will be identified as containing a corrupt numeric value and processing will continue.

rem  *
rem  *   1. Prepare the System and Job Environments.
rem  *   2. Create a Control File that will define a range of relative
rem  *      record numbers to be use to select records for processing.
rem  *   3. Execute a program that will read an ASCII encoded,
rem  *      Record Sequential (RSEQ) file that contains various numeric
rem  *      values stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal (COMP-3) or Zoned-
rem  *      Decimal format. The records that are read from SYSUT1 are
rem  *      selected for processing by the specifications from a control
rem  *      file (SYSUT3) that define a range of records to be processed.
rem  *      The Text Strings and Hexadecimal dump information will be
rem  *      written to the SYSOUT Device.
rem  *   4. End of Job processing.

rem  * Date   - January 24, 1996
rem  *
rem  * This Job Script will run on a Windows System. The following
rem  * describes each of the steps within this job.
rem  *
rem  *   1. Prepare the System and Job Environments.
rem  *   2. Create a Control File that will define a range of relative
rem  *      record numbers to be use to select records for processing.
rem  *   3. Execute a program that will read an ASCII encoded,
rem  *      Key-Sequenced-Data-Set (KSDS) that contains various numeric
rem  *      values stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal (COMP-3) or Zoned-
rem  *      Decimal format. The records that are read from SYSUT1 are
rem  *      selected for processing by the specifications from a control
rem  *      file (SYSUT3) that define a starting key and a count for
rem  *      the number of records to be processed.
rem  *      The Text Strings and Hexadecimal dump information will be
rem  *      written to the SYSOUT Device.
rem  *   4. End of Job processing.

This job script (VT80RSW1.cmd) will access a record sequential File (RSEQ) and will be opened for input with read-only capability. The fixed length, 80 byte record structure contains concatenated ASCII-encoded text strings and numeric values that are stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal or Zoned-Decimal format. The numeric strings within the input file (SYSUT1) have been properly maintained. The job script should post a normal End of Job (EOJ) with a zero (0) return code.

The following describes each of the steps within this job

1. Prepare the System and Job Environments.
2. The program executed by this job step will read a Record Sequential File (RSEQ) containing fixed length records of 80 bytes. The record content consist of concatenated text data strings and numeric values that are stored in a Binary (COMP), Packed-Decimal (COMP-3) or Zoned-Decimal format. The Summary Totals and record count will be written to the SYSOUT device.
3. End of Job processing.

 

The following shows the "Summary Totals" information that is written to the SYSOUT Device.

This job script (VT80RSW2.cmd) will access a record sequential File (RSEQ) and will be opened for a read-only capability. The fixed length, 80 byte record structure contains concatenated ASCII-encoded text strings and numeric values that are stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal or Zoned-Decimal format.

Some of the numeric strings within the input file (SYSUT1) should contain corrupted values.

On an IBM Mainframe this is expected to cause an S0C7 error message that results in an abnormal ending (ABEND) of the program.

On a Micro Focus system this is expected to cause an RTS163 error message that results in the abnormal ending (ABEND) of the program.

The program executed by this job will read a Record Sequential File (RSEQ) containing fixed length records of 80 bytes. The record content consist of concatenated text data strings and numeric values that are stored in a Binary (COMP), Packed-Decimal (COMP-3) or Zoned-Decimal format.

The following shows the "Summary Totals" information that is written to the SYSOUT Device.

rem  * This job script calls the following Windows Command Files.
rem  *
rem  * 1. ENV1BASE.cmd - this provides a single point for preparing
rem  *                   the System and Job environments.
rem  * 2. SIMONOTE.cmd - this provides a consistent process to display
rem  *                   messages to the screen and write messages to a
rem  *                   job log file.
rem  *
rem  * The following describes each of the steps within this job.
rem  *
rem  * 1. Prepare the System and Job Environments.
rem  * 2. Execute a program that will compare two files containing
rem  *    slightly different record content. The results should
rem  *    produce a "NOT Equal Compare" with a Zero return code.
rem  *    The results will be posted to the SYSLUSER device.
rem  * 3. End of Job processing.
rem  *
rem  * The following describes the two data files that will be used
rem  * for the compare.
rem  *
rem  * 1. The 1st input (SYSUT1) is a record sequential (RSEQ) file
rem  *    containing fixed-length records. The record structure
rem  *    contains text fields are ASCII encoded and numeric values
rem  *    that are stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal or Zoned-Decimal
rem  *    format.
rem  *
rem  * 2. The 2nd input (SYSUT2) is a record sequential (RSEQ) file
rem  *    containing fixed-length records. The record structure
rem  *    contains text fields are ASCII-encoded and numeric values
rem  *    that are stored in a Binary, Packed-Decimal or Zoned-Decimal
rem  *    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
