Introduction
The following Z-Packs provide individual programming examples, documentation and test data files in a single package. The Z-Packs are usually in zip format to reduce the amount of time to download. The examples that are targeted for a mainframe (MVS or OS/390) will also run on the PC with Mainframe Express from Micro Focus. The COBOL examples are coded to the ANSI/85 standard and many have been tested on the PC using Net Express from Micro Focus. Some of the COBOL programs may be slightly modified to run on the AS/400. For example, the COMP is changed to BINARY.

Shared Modules, SimoMODS Series
This group of Z-Packs and Utility Programs are a collection of modules that perform common tasks or repeatable processes for a variety of users that include application programmers, system programmers, developers and support personnel. Since the modules are used and/or shared across a number of applications and users they are referred to as the "shared modules" or "shared program members". The shared modules are divided into three (3) categories.
| ||||||||
| A brief Overview of the Categories for the Shared or Common Members |
The program modules that are written in COBOL have been compiled with Micro Focus Net Express to create executable members. The executable members are intended for use in an ASCII-encoded environment and may be used with Net Express, Application Server or Enterprise Server running on a Microsoft Windows system. The program modules in the applications-oriented group have been ported (at the source code level) to UNIX, Linux, AS/400 and many were originally developed and continue to run on an IBM Mainframe (both ZOS and VSE).

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
