Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section SIMOROAD, What it Does

This is an example of a callable COBOL program that will edit and modify a text string (or field) that contains a street address (oriented for the United States). This program is an example to show a possible technique to use.

The following shows some examples of the original content of an address string and the modified results produced by the callable SIMOROAD program,

Content Results for Original and Modified
ORIGINAL    15 RIVERSIDE DRIVE
MODIFIED 15 Riverside Drive
ORIGINAL POST OFFICE BOX 9144
MODIFIED P.O. Box 9144
ORIGINAL   710 HOLLYWOOD BL.
MODIFIED 710 Hollywood Blvd
ORIGINAL THE CORNER OF HOLLYWOOD AND VINE
MODIFIED The Corner of Hollywood and Vine

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section SIMOROAD, How to Use

To call the routine (SIMOROAD) the fields for the pass area need to be initialized. The following shows an example of initializing the pass area fields and making the call.

      * Prepare the Pass Area and make the call to SIMOROAD
           move 'SIMOROAD'      to RDPA-REQUEST
           move 'INP ' to RDPA-ADR1-CNTL
           move '123 MAIN STREET' to RDPA-ADR1-DATA
           call 'SIMOROAD' using ROAD-PASS-AREA
      * Upon return from the preceding call the content of the
      * RDPA-ADR2-DATA field will contain the following.
      * 123 Main Street

Upon return from the preceding call the content of the RDPA-ADR2-DATA field will contain the following.

123 Main Street

Note: The COBOL copy file that defines the data structure used as the pass area is included in a later section of this document.

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
