Introduction
The primary objective of this test case is to describe and demonstrate how to validate the integrity of the numeric values in a non-relational data file.
A secondary objective is to describe and demonstrate how the programs that do the various file format and record content conversions are generated.

The Requirements
The need to share data within companies and between companies is becoming critical to the success of many businesses. Individuals within companies and customers of companies need access to information that may be stored on a variety of systems of differing architectures. To further complicate the task at hand departments within companies have deployed their own systems (or servers) and individuals use a variety of devices to access and process the data.
The process of preparing, validating and delivering information to this wide audience of diverse users is the challenge. This test case will focus on the techniques of validating the integrity of numeric values (currency fields included).
A Solution

Execute and Review
WIP1
Execute, JCL Member
The following JCL Member (TC06DVJ1.jcl) will read a Record Sequential file with records that contain various numeric formats. Numeric totals will be accumulated for user-defined fields based on the numeric structure defined in a COBOL copy file. A record count will be provided in the final output to SYSOUT.

The following CMD file (TC06DVW1.cmd) will set the environment then read a Record Sequential file with records that contain various numeric formats. Numeric totals will be accumulated for user-defined fields based on the numeric structure defined in a COBOL copy file. A record count will be provided in the final output to SYSOUT.

Summary
The primary objective of this test case is to describe and demonstrate how to validate the integrity of the numeric values in a non-relational data file. 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.

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.
