Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This suite of programs will describe and demonstrate how to compare two record-sequential files that have variable-length records and a maximum record length of 80 bytes. The program that does the actual data file compare is a COBOL program that is generated using SimoTime technologies. The compare logic will compare the entire record for each file by using predefined positions for comparison. The results of the compare and the summary information will be posted to the SYSYOUT device.

The 1st section (Primary Functions) of this document will focus on doing an actual compare of two record-sequential files with variable length records. The 2nd section (Secondary Functions) will focus on the preparation tasks required prior to doing the file compare. The 3rd section (Ancillary Functions) will describe some of the supporting tasks (such as creating test files) that are required.

This example will use IEBGENER to create the record sequential files used in the compare process. The files will be used to demonstrate the capabilities of the data file compare processes.

This example includes JCL Members and a COBOL program. In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This suite of programs is provided as one of the many possible solutions for comparing data files. The files used in this suite of sample programs use variable-length records with a maximum record length of eighty-bytes. When the files are compared and if a difference is found the COBOL compare program will call SIMOHEX4.CBL and SIMOLOGS.CBL. These programs and their associated copy files are part of the SIMOLIBR package. Refer to the Downloads and Links to Similar Pages section of this document for additional information.

Many companies are looking for ways to compare data files using a mainframe system and a distributed system (i.e. Linux, UNIX and/or Windows or "LUW") running Micro Focus sub-systems. This utility program (UTCOMPRT) is intended to assist in these efforts. The UTCOMPRT program runs in the Windows environment and generates comparison programs (COBOL Source Code) that may be compiled and executed on a distributed LUW platform with Micro Focus, a Mainframe System with ZOS or VSE and/or an AS/400 System.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Primary Functions

This section will focus on the items (process and procedures) that do the actual data file comparison. A second group of items will be used to generate the comparison program and prepare the environment for the compare tasks. These secondary command files and programs will be described in the Secondary Functions section of this document.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section JCL Members for Data File Compare

This section will focus on two JCL Members that execute the file compare process. The first JCL Member will compare two files that have variable-length records. The second JCL Member will delete and re-create two record sequential files with variable length records.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Predefined Compare Positions

This JCL Member (VRECCPJ1.jcl) will compare two sequential files that are identical. The job execution will result in a non-zero return code. The detailed results of the not-equal conditions and the record counts will be posted to the SYSOUT device.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Secondary Functions

This section will focus on the items (process and programs) that do the generation and compilation of a data file compare programs.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Generate a File Compare Program

The SimoTime Utility Program for Data File Comparison runs on a Windows System with Micro Focus and will generate the COBOL source code for a program that will do a compare of two data files. The generation of the COBOL source code requires a Windows System with Micro Focus Studio or Micro Focus Server, version 6.0 or later. The generated COBOL source code may be compiled and executed on the following systems and will do the actual comparison of the two data files.

IBM Mainframe The Compilation and Execution of the generated COBOL source code is supported. COBOL for OS/390 or later should be used (this provided for Y2K compliance) to compile the generated source code.
Note: the SimoTime Utility program has the capability of generating COBOL Source code that can compare ASCII/Text (or LINE SEQUENTIAL) files. Programs that are generated with Line Sequential dependencies will not compile and execute in the ZOS environment of an IBM Mainframe.
Windows The Generation, Compilation and Execution of the generated COBOL source code is supported. To compile and execute the generated COBOL programs the Micro Focus Studio is recommended. However, Net Express and Mainframe Express may be used. Once a program is compiled with Micro Focus Studio it may be executed using Micro Focus Server.
Linux The Compilation and Execution of the generated COBOL source code is supported. To compile and execute the generated COBOL programs the Micro Focus Server Express is recommended. Once a program is compiled with Micro Focus Server Express it may be executed using Micro Focus Server.
UNIX The Compilation and Execution of the generated COBOL source code is supported.
  Express is recommended. Once a program is compiled with Micro Focus Server Express it may be executed using Micro Focus Server.
To compile and execute the generated COBOL programs the Micro Focus Server Express is recommended. Once a program is compiled with Micro Focus Server Express it may be executed using Micro Focus Server."   System Possibilities for Generated Data File Comparison Programs

The SimoTime Utility for Data File Compare will provide additional detail about creating a Process Control File and generating the COBOL source code for a data file compare program.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section The Process Control File, an Example

The following is the Process Control File (CPRS8001.pcf) that will define the process and parameters required for generating a COBOL program that will compare two record sequential file (RSEQ) containing variable-length records with a maximum record length of 80 bytes.

Link to Internet   Link to Server   Explore How to do a File Compare based on Positions within a Record that are defined at Execution Time. The positions within the records to be compared are defined in a Specifications File that is read by the generated compare program at execution time. This approach requires an extra file to be defined during the execution process but the positions to be compared may be changed without having to regenerate and compile the compare program.

Link to Internet   Link to Server   Explore the Principles of Data File Validation. This link includes guidelines for defining requirements and determining the scope of effort for a data validation effort. This effort includes a data file compare process, a technique for accumulating summary totals with a record count and a technique for reading a VSAM, KSDS and producing a hex-dump output based on a list of user-defined keys.

This link to the User Guide includes the information necessary to create a Process Control File and generate the COBOL programs that will do a data file compare, accumulate summary totals with a record count or produce a Hex-Dump of records in a VSAM, KSDS based on a list of user-defined keys. The User Guide contains a list of the PCF statements that are used for the data file compare, validate or dump process.

Link to Internet   Link to Server   Explore a Data File Compare Utility Program that is used to compare the content of two sequential files with 80 byte records. The positions within the record that are to be compared are determined at execution time. When a difference occurs the output may be written to SYSOUT or a log file. The COBOL source code for the program was generated using SimoTime technologies.

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
