Introduction
Generating Summary Totals for numeric values that are stored in data files is a typical requirement for a business application running in a production environment. This capability may be extended to the development and testing environments and used as a tool for diagnostic purposes and to validate the integrity of numeric values (especially currency amounts).
This document will focus on the task of generating COBOL programs that will read data files or VSAM Data Sets and accumulate summary totals. The generation phase will require a Windows system. The generated source code may be compiled and executed on a system of choice.
This test case uses a file that contains numeric values that are signed or unsigned and stored in a Zoned-Decimal, Packed-Decimal or Binary format.
Note: For explanation purposes this document will reference a default setup and configuration environment that is used by SimoTime.
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.

Objectives
This example illustrates the following functions.
| 1. | Describe and demonstrate a process to validate the integrity of numeric values. |
| 2. | Describe and demonstrate the program generation process. |
| 3. | Describe and demonstrate the program compilation process. |
| 4. | Describe and demonstrate the program execution process. |
Requirements & Configuration
This suite of samples programs will run on the following platforms.
| 1. | Requires Microsoft Windows/7 (or later) or Windows/Server. |
| 2. | Requires Micro Focus Enterprise Developer with a configuration for Mainframe Sub-system Support. |
| 3. | Requires the SimoTime Library to be installed (C:\SIMOLIBR). |
| 4. | Requires a user environment to be configured (C:\SIMOUSER). |
For explanation purposes this document will assume a default setup and configuration of the SimoTime Technologies.
Explore the SIMOUSER directory structure. The SIMOUSER Library is a directory and sub-directory structure that provides an environment for analyst, technical administrators, testing groups and support individuals to generate and execute programs that will be used to convert, verify or review the content and properties of non-relational data structures.
Generate & Promote
The generation processing task is a "one-time" effort. Once it is completed the items (documents or programs) may be promoted to a shared environment and accessed based on user demand.
The following diagram shows the logic flow for a batch job that describes and demonstrates how to use a template to create new COBOL programs that will be used to create Summary Totals.

Summary
This document will focus on the task of generating COBOL programs that will read data files or VSAM Data Sets and accumulate summary totals. The generation phase will require a Windows system. The generated source code may be compiled and executed on a system of choice. This document may be used to assist as a tutorial for new assembler programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers. The samples focus on the coding techniques of the individual functions. As always, it is the programmer's responsibility to thoroughly test all programs.

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
