#Cobol example how to#
Show how to convert various numeric fields to an edited text field that may be exported for use in an Excel spreadsheet.
#Cobol example code#
Maintain a single set of COBOL source code that will run on ZOS, Linux, UNIX or Windows. Provide an example of a Bash Script file to run the job on Linux using GnuCOBOL. Provide an example of a Window's Command file to run the job on Windows using Micro Focus Net Express. Provide an example of mainframe JCL to run the job on Windows using Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE). Show how to convert a packed numeric field with three (3) decimal positions to a display numeric field with two (2) decimal positions.
Show how to convert a simple packed numeric field to a display numeric field. Show how to dump the actual hexadecimal value of a numeric field. This example illustrates the following functions.ĭescribe the commonly used Numeric field formats available in COBOL.ĭescribe the internal structure of the Numeric fields. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time.
#Cobol example software#
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. This suite of programs is provided as a COBOL example of one of the possible solutions to the problem of determining the actual format, content and length of a numeric field and converting to a different format. In the wonderful world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. The DISPLAY format may be referred to as a character or text format. The COBOL USAGE clause would be COMP, COMP-3 and DISPLAY. Numeric formats include Binary, Packed Decimal and Zoned Decimal. A suite of Bash Script Files is provided to run the jobs on a Linux or UNIX System with GnuCOBOL (formerly known as Open COBOL) being used to compile and execute the COBOL Programs.Ī variety of numeric formats are used on an IBM Mainframe System, a Windows System, a UNIX System or a Linux System. A suite of Windows command files is provided to run the jobs on a Windows System using Micro Focus COBOL technology. This suite of test cases includes JCL Members for execution in a Mainframe-oriented environment such as an actual IBM Mainframe running ZOS or a Micro Focus environment such as Mainframe Express or Server Enterprise Edition. This example also illustrates how to display the actual hexadecimal (or Hex Dump) content of a numeric field using a callable dump routine. This suite of test cases describes how to convert between the various numeric formats (or data types such as DISPLAY, COMP, COMP-3 or DECIMAL, BINARY and PACKED) used with COBOL and on an IBM Mainframe System.
