Hexadecimal Dump Sequential or ASCII/Text File |

Introduction
This suite of sample programs performs Sequential File I/O and HEX-Dump formatting of an ASCII/Text File using Micro Focus COBOL. The programs describe how to dump the input records to an output file in Hexadecimal format. This suite of programs will run on a Mainframe System with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Developer/Server. The use of the EXTFHTAB.CFG file (EXTernal-File-Handler) is used to override the Micro Focus default that replaces TAB characters with SPACE characters.
The COBOL program is compiled with the ASSIGN(EXTERNAL) and the SEQUENTIAL(LINE) directives. The former provides for external file mapping of file names. The latter provides for the mapping of the SEQUENTIAL files specified in the COBOL program to LINE SEQUENTIAL (or ASCII/TEXT) files. This technique provides for the use of a single COBOL source program that will run on a Mainframe System with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Developer/Server.
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.

Programming Overview
The following is a flowchart of the job for executing the HEX-Dump programs.
The main program (TXTHEXC1) will read a Sequential file (TEXT0512) and produce a 128-byte, fixed record length Sequential file (SYSHEXT1). The contents of this file will be the HEX-Dump information for the first 128 byte of each record in the TEXT0512 input file. The source code for the CMD file, the JCL member and the COBOL programs is provided and may be modified to fit your environment. Color Associations: The

Data Input and Output
The following sections describe the data flow and format.
Data Input
The input is in stream data from the JCL Member or Command File. The following five records will be added to the file.
I am record 001 of TEXT0512 I am record 002 of TEXT0512 - 0123456789 I am record 003 of TEXT0512 - ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ I am record 004 of TEXT0512 - abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz I am record 005 of TEXT0512 - * Tab01 Tab02 tab03
Data Output from EBCDIC-encoded File

JCL, Hex-Dump of Sequential File
The following (TXTHEXJ1.jcl) is a sample of the mainframe, OS/390 JCL needed to run this job. This JCL will also run on a Windows platform using Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE).
This job may be executed on the mainframe as an MVS or OS/390 batch job. It may also be executed on the PC running Micro Focus Mainframe Express product. The JOB and DD statements will require modification prior to execution on a mainframe.

Summary
The purpose of this program is to provide examples for accessing a Sequential file and creating a new Sequential file containing Hexadecimal Dump information. 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
