Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This sample program is written entirely in COBOL and will run as an MVS batch job on an IBM mainframe or as a project with Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) running on a PC with Windows.

This example illustrates the following functions.

1 Describe how to read a VSAM, KSDS Data Set (Keyed Sequential Data Set).
2 Describe how to translate each character within a record to it's two-byte hexadecimal equivalent and display the information.
3 Describe how to display the hexadecimal values on the screen and write the hexadecimal values to a log file.
4 Provide an example of mainframe JCL to run the job on the mainframe or the PC using MFE.
  How to Produce a Hex-Dump of Records in a VSAM Data Set

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.

The 1st line is a header that shows the position of each byte within the record. The 2nd line (or Blue line) shows the possible EBCDIC translation for print or display. The 3rd and 4th lines show the hexadecimal dump information with the left-most nibble above the right-most nibble. The 5th line (or Red line) shows the possible ASCII translation for print or display.

The following shows the sample output from an IBM Mainframe, EBCDIC encoded data set.

Overview of Hex-Dump Example for a VSAM Data Set (KSDS)

The main program (SIMHEXC1) will read a VSAM data set and produce and 80-byte, fixed record length QSAM file. The contents of this file will be the HEX Dump information for the VSAM file. The source code for the JCL and the COBOL program are provided and may be modified to fit your environment.

Color Associations: The  light-green  boxes are unique to SIMOTIME Technologies using an IBM Mainframe System or Micro Focus Enterprise Developer. The  light-red  boxes are unique to the SIMOTIME Technologies using a Linux, UNIX or Windows System and COBOL Technologies such as Micro Focus. The  light-yellow  boxes are SIMOTIME Technologies, Third-party Technologies, decision points or program transitions in the processing logic or program generations. The  light-blue  boxes identify the input/output data structures such as Documents, Spreadsheets, Data Files, VSAM Data Sets, Partitioned Data Set Members (PDSM's) or Relational Tables. The  light-gray  boxes identify a system function or an informational item.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Job Scripts

A job script may be defined as a text file containing job setup information followed by job steps that identify programs to be executed along with parameters unique to the job step. A job script may be created using a text editor. The naming of a job script is determined by the Operating System. A simple job script may contain a single job step that performs a single function. A typical job script will contain multiple job steps executed in a predefined sequence. The status of each job step may be tested at the end of each job step.

This test case will run on a Microsoft Windows System using CMD Files to define the batch job.

      *
      *
      * DESCRIPTION
      * -----------
      * This program will will read a KSDS, VSAM file and display a
      * HEX-Dump to the console. It will also write the HEX-Dump
      * information to a sequential, QSAM file.

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
