Introduction
The primary objective of this test case is to show the level of support/compatibility of the various numeric formats that are used on a Mainframe System and supported on a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server. This test case will use a documented process to describe and demonstrate how to create a set of record sequential files with records that contain fields that are text strings and numeric strings in a variety of formats. For example, the text strings may be ASCII or EBCDIC encoded. The numeric strings may be signed or unsigned (implied positive) and may be zoned decimal, packed-decimal or binary.
A secondary objective is to describe and demonstrate how the programs that do the various file format and record content conversions are generated and deployed.
| 1. | Create the Data to be used as Input for this Test Case. |
| 1.1. | Create a Line Sequential file with a text and a numeric string. |
| 1.2. | Create a Record Sequential file with ASCII-encoded text fields and numeric fields with packed and binary formats. The line sequential file created in the previous step will be used to create this file. |
| 1.3. | Create a Record Sequential with EBCDIC-encoded text fields and numeric fields with packed and binary formats. The record sequential file created in the previous step will be used to create this file. |
| 1.4. | Allow the files to be shared by other test cases and other users. |
| 2. | Describe and Demonstrate how to generate Data File Create and Convert Programs. |
| 2.1. | Create a Process Control File (PCF) that contains the specifications for creating or converting a non-relational data file. |
| 2.2. | Generate the programs that will create and view the data files to be used for testing by this test case and other test cases. |
| 3. | Review the Results |
| 3.1. | Review/view the new data files. |
| 3.2. | Compare the actual results obtained with a known expected result. |
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.

Execute and Review
The programs used to create the test files are COBOL programs. The programs were generated on a Windows System with Micro Focus Studio and SimoTime Technologies. The generated programs may be compiled and executed on an IBM Mainframe System running ZOS or VSE. The programs may be compiled and executed on a Linux, UNIX or Windows System using Micro Focus Technologies.
This test case includes JCL Members for executing on a Mainframe System with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Server and the Mainframe Sub-System option. Sample command files are included for executing in a native mode on a Windows System.
JCL Members
The following provides an overview of the JCL Members that will be used in a mainframe-oriented environment.
Create Test Files
The following JCL Member (TC05MKJ1.jcl) will set the environment then read an ASCII-encoded Record Sequential file and create an EBCDIC-encoded Record Sequential file. The record content will have numeric fields that are packed and binary formats.

The following JCL Member (TC05HXJ1.jcl) will read the ASCII-encoded and EBCDIC-encoded Test Files and create "DUMP" files in a HEX-Dump format. Since the HEX-DUMP files are all text data they may be easily viewed from the Micro Focus Enterprise Server Catalog display screen.

Content of Test Files
The following shows the record content of the HEX-Dump files for the Test Files. For each record in the primary Test File the HEX-Dump file contains four lines of information. The first line is the possible ASCII translation. The second and third lines are the HEX-Dump information. The second line contains the high-order nibble and the third line contains the low-order nibble of each byte in the record. The fourth line is the possible EBCDIC translation.

Ancillary Functions
This section describes the command files that are used or called from other command files to perform various system or sub-system oriented tasks. For example, setting the commonly used environment variables in a single, callable command simplifies the process and makes it easier to adjust if the environment changes.
Explore How to use Common or Shared Routines that perform repetitive tasks in a consistent manner. This link will provide information about setting common environment variables and many other utilitarian tasks.
Set the Environment
The following (ENV1BASE.cmd) is the Windows Command file that is used to set the environment variables that are commonly used across the application.

Summary
The primary objective of this test case is to show the level of support/compatibility of the various numeric formats that are used on a Mainframe System and supported on a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server. This document may be used as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.
SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the Contact or Feedback section of this document.

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
