Introduction
The SIMOHEX1 routine (or callable program) will convert a data string of one-byte items to a text string of two-byte items using hexadecimal notation. The hexadecimal notation string is then posted to the SYSOUT device. This document is a quick reference for using the callable routine SIMOHEX1.

SimoHEX1, What It Does
The SIMOHEX1 routine (or callable program) will convert a data string to its hexadecimal value with a display or logging capability. It will also translate the possible printable characters for both ASCII and EBCDIC.
The following is an example of the hexadecimal dump information provided by the sample programs. This information may be displayed to the screen or written to a log file. The high-lighted YELLOW shows the hexadecimal dump information. The BLUE shows the possible EBCDIC display values and the RED shows the possible ASCII display values.

SimoHEX1, How To Use
The coding to do the actual call to display the hexadecimal dump information to the SYSOUT device is as follows.
*****************************************************************
* The coding required to do the call to the Hex-Dump program.
* ------------------------------------------------------------
CALL 'SIMOHEX1' USING SIMOHEX1-PASS-AREA
SIMOHEX1-BUFFER
A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SIMOHEX1. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.
WORKING STORAGE.

You may view an example of a COBOL program that uses SIMOHEX1 at http://www.simotime.com/cblmem01.htm.
The COBOL Members
The set of program members includes a program that creates the hexadecimal dump information and a copy file that defines the structure for a pass area.
Pass Area Structure, a Copy File
The following (PASSHEX1.cpy) is the COBOL copy file that may be used when calling SIMOHEX1.

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
