A1. cobmap1 - create COBOL record layouts from source programs or copy books
  (field lengths, types, start,& end bytes on the right side)

For COBOL shops, cobmap is probably the most popular of the more than 400 pre-programmed jobs provided for the uvcopy interpreter. The cobmaps are especially valuable for conversions, Year 2000 projects, whenever you need to know field locations for internal or external use. I suggest generating cobmaps for the entire directory of copy-books & mounting in a 3 ring binder for easy availability.

     cobmap2  - Alternate cobmap for Burroughs comp (1/2 byte aligned) fields
B1. cleanup - source code maintenance utility job with options to:
- translate to UPPER case
- translate to lower case (except within quotes)
- sequence# in cols 1-6 (or clear, or store from 73-78)
- gang program name in cols 73-80 (or clear)
- convert single quotes to double quotes (or vice-versa)
- translate copybook names to UPPER or lower case
- enclose copybook names in single or double quotes
- enclose call program names in single or double quotes
- insert TIP/ix FSE options control record (lower case, etc)
C1. cobcopy1 - copy cobol programs expanding the 'copy' statements.
- makes it easier to investigate unfamiliar programs, because
  you can then search for all references to any fieldname.
- pre-requisite to some other jobs, such as cross-referencing
  selected field-names in all COBOL programs (see XREFjobs.htm).
D1. cobcopy2 - copy COBOL programs encoding group-names with field lengths &
  date-field components, to facilitate Year 2000 investigations.
- Refer to DATEjob1 to see how the output of this job is used.
E1. cobfil51 - create a report of files used in COBOL programs, showing:
  external-name,open-modes,org,access,copybookname,internal-name
- especially useful for conversion planning
F1. cpybook1 - scan a COBOL program directory & verify all copy-books present
- write a report file with copy commands for missing copybooks
- write 2nd file with names of programs with missing copybooks
G1. uncopy1 - create new version of copybook with comp/binary removed, in
  preparation for reform2/3, which generates uvcopy jobs to
  convert data files to all unpacked numeric fields.

H1. fixrpt1 - Fix reports with missing LineFeeds, caused by COBOL programs
  with 'write AFTER advancing' (vs write BEFORE advancing).
- Occurs when mainframe COBOL programs are converted to Unix.
- fixrpt1 replaces x'0D0C' with x'0D0A0C' (CR+FF with CR+LF+FF)
H2. fixrpt2 - A better solution to missing lineFeeds, fixrpt2 searches for
  any CR not followed by an LF, & inserts an LF when required.
- Only fixrpt2 is documented (fixrpt1 is present in uvadm/pf).
- As of Mar97, uvlist has options to perform these functions
  directly while printing the file via scripts uvlp18, etc
I1. cobmod - the classic example of a mass change to a program library
- your company name changes (hard-coded in hundreds of programs)
- will take weeks if edited manually
- 4 methods will be presented & compared:
- note that the last 2 methods are general purpose driven by a
  table file of any desired search & replace patterns.
J1. cobmod1 - using 'sed' (UNIX stream editor)
- inadequate if the new name is longer & would exceed col 72
  or if shorter any constants in 73-80 would be moved left
  into the cobol text area.
J2. cobmod2 - 1st of 3 methods using 'uvcopy'
- this is a simplistic solution that is also inadequate
- an improvement on sed since only cols 8-72 can be modified
  but this method lacks the 'line-splitting' logic of the next 3.
J3. cobmod3 - this job allows for most of the shortcomings of methods 1 & 2.
- will split lines if col 72 is exceeded & will adjust the length
  of the preceding pic x(??), but only if on the same line.
J4. cobmod4 - this job allows the pic x(??) to be on the previous line.
- this method tables lines until a period is reached, which allows
  correction of preceding PIC X(??) length on the previous line.
K1. cobfix72 - correct cobol programs that have been processed by some mass
  change utility that did not have the ability to split lines
  exceeding column 72.
L1. uvcopy parameter file listings for jobs in this section are listed

cpyname1/vi/cpyflip1/rep2 - replacing old record layouts with copybooks

Legacy COBOL sites often have old programs with embedded record layouts (ie - not using copy-books). Many of these sites did subsequently create standard copybooks which were used for any newly developed programs. It is desirable to replace old embedded record layouts in the programs with 'copy' statements for our new standard copy-books. However, we cant just replace the record definitions with the copy commands because the fieldnames in the old programs (used thruout the procedure division) usually do not match the field names in the new copybooks. This section will present a plan to help automate this desired process.

    1. cpyname1 - extract field names from copybooks for search/replace tables.
    2.   vi     - add the old fieldnames (in old programs) to the tables.
    3. cpyflip1 - reverse the search/replace table as required for rep2.
    4. rep2     - convert old program fieldnames to standard copybook names
                  using search/replace tables created by cpyname1/vi/cpyflip1

    chkadv0    - scan cobol for write printer without BEFORE/AFTER ADVANCING
                 (mainframe defaulted space, but UNIXMicroFocus will overprint)
    chkopen2   - scan COBOL programs for multiple 'open's to same printer file.
                 (UNIX/MicroFocus will overwrite the previous file)

chkcomreg2 - scan COBOL for ACCEPT/DISPLAY FROM/UPON SYSCOM(COMREG).

chksyslst2 - scan mainframe COBOL programs for DISPLAY UPON <SYSLST>

    occurs1    - scan cobmaps for occurs with mixed data types
    occurs2    - scan cobmaps for occurs within occurs

O: COBOL aids documented in COBextra.htm

    cobcsf1  - convert cobol sysin ACCEPTs to disc files

    comreg1  - modify COBOL programs that ACCEPT from/DISPLAY upon COMREG
    advfix1  - fix COBOL programs with LINAGE or omitted ADVANCING lines
    acceptU1 - force UPPER-case on data 'ACCEPT'ed from console.
               (recommended for COBOL programs converted from mainframes)

A3. COBaids1: cobmap1 - generate record layouts for ALL copybooks in directory

This page will show you how to create record layout reports for all copybooks in the directory. I suggest you laser print these reports, 3 hole punch,& file the reports in a 3 ring binder.

* These layouts are a valuable resource both during & after the conversion.* * It is a big help to have these layouts immediately available for many * * reasons such as determining sort field keys, etc. They are especially * * valuable during the conversion for checking the validity of the file * * transfer & field conversions. Use in conjunction with the 'uvhd' utility * * which will display data files in vertical hex with byte# scales. *

operating instructions - for all copybooks in the directory


 1.  mkdir maps               - make directory to receive the reports
     ==========

 2.  uvcopyx cobmap1 cpy maps uop=q0i7p0t1  - create all record layouts
     =====================================    at 10 cpi (60 cols of text)

 3.  uvlpd maps               - print all record layouts at 10 cpi
     ==========

 3a. uvlp maps/filexx         - OR print separate layouts as required
     ================

'uvcopyx' is a script that repeats a uvcopy job (cobmap1 in this case) for all files in the input directory (copy) & writes the generated reports to the output directory (map).

default options

option 'q0'
  • inhibits prompts for options at the beginning of each file
option 'i7'
  • inhibits the multiple operator messages (option explanations)
option 'p0'
  • inhibit the prompt for report disposition at end each copybook
option 't1'
  • (default) truncates text at 60 columns (8 1/2 * 11 at 10cpi)

Goto:   Begin this document End this document UVSI Home-Page

A4. COBaids1: cobmap1 - generate layout reports for long field-names

If your copy books are more complex you might want to allow more text columns via option 't'. Then print with uvlp12, uvlp14, or uvlp18. To print all layouts in directory use uvlpd12, uvlpd14, or uvlpd18.

options for expanded text print

option 't1'
  • (default) truncates text at 60 columns (8 1/2 * 11 at 10cpi)
option 't2'
  • 74 columns of text, use uvlp12 to print
option 't4'
  • 90 columns of text, use uvlp14 to print
option 't8'
  • 110 columns of text, use uvlp18 to print
  1. mkdir map2


 2. uvcopyx cobmap1 cpy map2 uop=q0i7p0t2    - generate reports for 12 cpi
    =====================================      but inhibit query for print

 3. rmzf maps           - remove zero length reports, caused by copy-books
    =========             for procedures vs record layouts.

 4. uvlpd12 map2        - print all cobmaps in the map2 directory
    ============
Note
  • I recommend printing all cobmaps & mounting in a 3 ring binder
    but if you prefer printing 1 at a time you could use:

 4a. uvlp12 map2/filexx  - print layout for desired copybooks
     ==================    from previously generated cobmaps (#2 above).

 4b. cobmapx cpy/filexx  - script to run cobmap1 using original copybook
     ==================    as input, writing a tmp file,& printing that
                           (see listing below)

cobmapx - convenient script to print 1 cobmap

 # cobmapx - generate & print record layout from COBOL copybook
 #         - this script simplifies uvcopy 'cobmap1' job
 #
 #usage: cobmapx copybookname
 #       ====================
 #
 if [[ ! -f "$1" ]]
    then echo "usage: cobmapx filename ($1 not a file)"; exit 99; fi
 #
 uvcopy cobmap1,fili1=$1,uop=q0i7t2p0  # crate layout, inhibit prompt
 #
 uvlp12 cobmap.tmp                     # print the created tmp file

A5. COBaids1: cobmap2 - alt version of cobmap for Burroughs comp/binary fields

 'cobmap2' is an alternate version (of cobmap1) for Burroughs comp fields
 which can be 1/2 byte aligned. Cobmap2 calculates field lengths in nibbles
 & then converts back to bytes when creating the output report.
 Cobmap2 indicates 1/2 byte alignments with < = >  vs '-' start-end separator.
 Burroughs binary field lengths are calculated differently than in cobmap1
 - the length varies from 1 to 8 depending on digits in picture definition.

C1. COBaids1: cobcopy1 - copy a cobol program expanding 'copy' statements

'cobcopy1' can be used to to investigate programs that are not familiar to you. You can expand the copy books with cobcopy1 & print the result. You can then study the complete program without having to refer separately to the various copybooks. You can search the result with the editor & find all references to any given fieldname.

The 'cobcopy1' job is the 1st step for various cobol diagnostic jobs in the Vancouver Utilities (such as Y2K investigations). Rather than build copybook directory access into the several diagnostic jobs, the cobcopy1 job can be run once to copy your cobol source library to an alternate directory while expanding any 'copy' statements. The alternate directory is then used for the various cobol diagnostic jobs.

XREFjobs.htm illustrates using cobcopy1 as the 1st step in a plan to cross-reference COBOL fieldnames identified by a table file of fieldnames or partial name patterns.

cobcopy1
  • copy directory of COBOL source, expanding copybooks
  • was used in Y2K analysis, useful for various investigations
  • used as 1st step in cross-referencing selected field-names
cobxtbl2
  • Cross-Reference COBOL fieldnames identified by a table file
    of fieldnames or patterns
  • 2nd step in series of cobcopy1, cobxtbl2,& cobxrpt3
cobxrpt3
  • create condensed COBOL fieldname cross-reference report.
  • output of cobxtbl2 is condensed by spreading multiple program
    references across the page.

cobcopy1 actions

  1. expands the copy-books, allowing for 'copy replacing by'

  2. translates the program & copybooks to lower case (except in quotes).

  3. clears columns 1-6 & 73-80 with options to insert sequence#s for the program & copybooks (on the left),and combined (on the right).

  4. converts '. ' to ' . ' and ', ' to ' ' and ' picture ' to ' pic ' to facilitate subsequent program investigations.

  5. converts single quotes to doubles (MicroFocus COBOL standard)

D1. COBaids1: cobcopy2 - copy programs coding group-names with lths & dates

Cobcopy2 will append field lengths & date field component names onto group-names, so that the Year 2000 analysis jobs can recognize group names used in comparisons of group field names.

Cobcopy2 depends on a table of date-field-names. A sample table tf/y2tbl2 is supplied & you can add to it depending on site conventions.

'cobcopy2' would be preceded by 'cobcopy1' (see previous sub-section) which copied the COBOL source programs to an alternate directory while expanding the copy-books.

'cobcopy2' will now copy the output of cobcopy1 to a 3rd directory while while encoding the group field names. Please see section DATEjob1.doc to see how the output directory can be used for Year 2000 investigations.

E1. COBaids1: cobfil51 - create a report of files used in COBOL programs

Cobfil51 creates a report of files referenced in COBOL programs. (programname,externalname,openmodes,org,access,copybookname,internalname)

This report is especially useful for conversion planning, for example:

  1. You need to know the copybook name for each file for the conversion utilities (ARMDATA or uvcopy - see DATAtrsfr.doc & DATAcnvt in vol 4)

  2. It is useful to identify tape files, which require changes in conversion.

                ** Operating Instructions **
                   (demo using uvadm/bat1)

E2. COBaids1: cobfil51 - sorting & selecting for custom reports

Please see the cobfil51 sample report on the previous page. You can sort & select these records as you desire to create reports that are useful to your projects.

For example, selecting all tape files would be especially useful when converting from the mainframe, because tape files usually have to be modified for Unix Microfocus COBOL.

selecting tape files - method #1 (grep)


 1. grep 'tape-' cobfiles.rpt >cobfiles.tape   - select tape files
    ========================================

 2. uvlp cobfiles.tape                         - print selected report
    ==================

 cobol9.bat   tape-custape-f       O  I      S  S  cmrecord  custape

Sorting COBOL directory

The cobfil51 job will report the programs in the sequence that the filenames appear within the directory (not necessarily alphabetical). I recommend you sort your COBOL source directory before this report. Assuming your COBOL source directory is cobsrc, you could sort as follows: (see uvadm/sf/util/sortcpio documented in scripts1.htm).


 1. mv cobsrc cobsrc.save         - rename your current COBOL src dir
    =====================

 2. mkdir cobsrc                  - make a new COBOL src dir
    ============

 3. sortcpio cobsrc.save cobsrc   - sort from the backup dir to the new dir
    ===========================

alternative COBOL files report

The following scan3d could be used to select the entire FILE-CONTROL section from each program, but this would be a very lengthy report and would not have the OPEN I/O modes.


 uvcopy scan3d,fild1=bat1,arg1=FILE-CONTROL,arg2u=DATA_DIVISION
 ===============================================================
        - would scan all programs in the bat1 directory for line groups
          that begin with 'FILE-CONTROL' & end with 'DATA DIVISION'
        - would include all SELECT statements

  • write a report file with copy commands for missing copybooks
  • write 2nd file with names of programs with missing copybooks

Note
  • A 2nd output file includes only the names of the programs
    with missing copy-books.
  • Convenient if you want to use the editor to make a script
    of 'rm's to remove these programs.
    (or 'mv's to move to a separate directory)

H1. COBaids1: fixrpt2 - fix reports with missing LineFeeds

Problem
  • Mainframe COBOL programs with 'write AFTER advancing'
    cause problems when converted to Unix Micro Focus COBOL
  • Unix requires LineFeeds at the end of the line
    (ie - write BEFORE advancing)
  • Micro Focus COBOL appends BOTH LF & CR x'0A0D' on print lines
Solution
  • process the file with uvcopy job 'fixrpt2' prior to printing
  • fixrpt2 copies the file searching for any x'0D' (CR)
    not directly followed by a x'0A' (LF)
    & will insert the x'0A' when missing.

I1. COBaids1: cobmod_ - changing the COMPANY NAME in the ENTIRE LIBRARY

This is the classic example of a mass change to a program library.

Your company name changes & it is hard-coded in hundreds of programs (will take weeks to change if edited manually)

Let us assume we wish to change the name as follows:

'ABC COMPANY LTD.' to 'ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.'

 --------------- 4 methods will be presented & compared ------------------
J1. cobmod1 - using 'sed' (UNIX stream editor)
- inadequate if the new name is longer & would exceed col 72
  or if shorter any constants in 73-80 would be moved left
  into the cobol text area.
J2. cobmod2 - 1st of 3 methods using 'uvcopy'
- this is a simplistic solution that is also inadequate
- an improvement on sed since only cols 8-72 can be modified
  but this method lacks the 'line-splitting' logic of the next 3.
J3. cobmod3 - this job allows for most of the shortcomings of methods 1 & 2.
- will split lines if col 72 is exceeded & will adjust the length
  of the preceding pic x(??), but only if on the same line.
J4. cobmod4 - this job allows the pic x(??) to be on the previous line.
- this method tables lines until a period is reached, which allows
  correction of preceding PIC X(??) length on the previous line.
                       *** NOTE ***

The 'cobmod' series of jobs is presented as an example of a SPECIFIC mass change to COBOL programs & also as an EDUCATIONAL exercise.

Also see the 'cobscan' & 'cobrep' jobs in COBscans.htm section which you will find much more useful because they are general purpose & can be used for most mass changes you might require.

The cobscan & cobrep jobs are more powerful because they process the entire directory of cobol programs. The 'cobmod' jobs process only 1 program at a time, although the 'uvcopyx' script can be used to repeat any uvcopy job for all files in the directory.

The cobscan & cobrep jobs also produce an audit trail report showing matching lines & line#s within the file.

J1. COBaids1: cobmod1 - changing company name using 'sed' (UNIX stream editor)

You could change 1 program as follows:

sed -e s/'ABC COMPANY LTD.'/'ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.'/\ bat1/cobol1.bat >cobol1x

         'sed' SCRIPT to change names in all programs in a directory
         -----------------------------------------------------------
 # cobmod1 - script to change company name (using sed)
 #           from: ABC COMPANY LTD.
 #             to: ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.
 #
 # - copies directory (of cobol programs) to an alternate directory
 #   using 'sed' (UNIX stream editor) to make the change
 #
 #usage:  cobmod1 indir outdir
 #
 for i in $1/*
 do
    f=${i##*/}
    sed -e s/'ABC COMPANY LTD.'/'ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.'/\
         $1/$f >$2/$f
 done
 exit
             sed script cobmod1 operating instructions
             -----------------------------------------
  1. mkdir bat2 - make a directory to receive output
  2. cobmod1 bat1 bat2 - run the script to change all programs ================= while copying directory bat1 to bat2
  3. vi bat2/* - inspection to verify results 4a. mv bat1 bat1.old - if ok, change name 4b. mv bat2 bat1 back to original 4c. rm bat1.old/* 4d. rmdir bat1.old
note
  • The 'sed' method is inadequate because the new longer name would
    probably extend past column 72 of the cobol source record.
  • If the new name were shorter, there could still be a problem since
    anything in cols 73-80 would be shifted left into the cobol text area.

J3. COBaids1: cobmod3/cobmod4 - change company name - table driven method

These methods provide for the shortcomings of methods 1 & 2.

These methods are implemented as 'general purpose' & 'table-driven'. You can easily modify the patterns & add any number of additional patterns for any other changes desired.

First we will edit these patterns into a search & replace table whose name will be supplied to the uvcopy job.

 # cobmod.tbl - search/replace table for cobmod3 & cobmod4
 #            - documented in COBaids1.doc, example company name change,
 #            - this table has only 1 entry, but it could have multiple
 #              entries for different name formats
 #              or for any other search/replacements desired
 #
 ABC COMPANY LTD.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 ~~

First we will run the job on just 1 program (for testing?), then we will use the uvcopyx script to process the entire directory (see next page).

The instructions are written for the 'cobmod3' job, but are equally valid for the cobmod4.

J5. COBaids1: cobmod3/cobmod4 - change company name - table driven method

There is a bug in cobmod3 which depends on how the name was coded.

      05 FILLER          PIC X(30)  VALUE 'ABC COMPANY LTD.'
                                           - will be fixed ok as follows:
      05 FILLER          PIC X(39)  VALUE
      'ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.'
      05 FILLER          PIC X(30)
         VALUE 'ABC COMPANY LTD.'
                                           - but this has a problem:
      05 FILLER          PIC X(30)
         VALUE 'ABCXYZ COMPANY LTD.'

Note that the PIC X(30) is properly changed to PIC X(39) when the company name appears on the same line, but not when on separate lines

Cobfix4 solves this problem by tabling lines in memory until a period so we can modify the previous line since it is not written out until all changes have been made.

These jobs are listed at the end of the section, for your convenience in case you want to inspect or modify them.

Note that this is just 1 example of a mass change technique that might apply to other similar problems that could occur in your shop.

K1. COBaids1: cobfix72 - correct programs exceeding column 72

This job was written to correct cobol programs that have been processed by some utility that did not respect column 72.

Cobfix72 will split lines that exceed col 72, by scanning back to the preceding blank and split the line at that point, moving the data on the right to a new line beginning in column 12.

This job first scans cols 73+ for the program-name & blanks it out. It then assumes that any data exceeding col 72 is a cobol statement that had been pushed past col 72 by some previous mass change utility that did not include the logic to split lines.

If desired, you could test this job by modifying 1 of the demo programs. You could create some deliberate overflow statements by joining existing statements. (the job logic allows for overflows up to col 128)

operating test - for 1 program

  1. cp bat1/cobol1.bat . - copy 1 of the demo programs to current dir
  2. vi cobol1.bat - modify with editor - - - - to create deliberate overflows

 3. uvcopy cobfix72,fili1=cobol1.bat,filo1=cobol1x
    ==============================================
 4. vi cobol1x                     - inspection to verify results
 5. mv cobol1x bat1/cobol1.bat     - if this were production (vs testing)
                                     move back to original directory

operating production - for entire directory

  1. mkdir bat2 - make directory to receive output


 2.  uvcopy cobfix72 bat1 bat2      - use script to execute uvcopy/cobmod2
     =========================        on all programs in directory
 3.  vi bat2/*                      - inspection to verify results
 4a. mv bat1 bat1.old               - if ok, change directory name
 4b. mv bat2 bat1                     back to the original input dir

L1. COBaids1: uvcopy parameter files for all jobs in this section

 The uvcopy jobs are not listed here, but are available in /home/uvadm/pf.
 I suggest you list jobs of interest to you & file them here.
 For example to list cobmap1:  uvlp /home/uvadm/pf/cobmap1
                               ===========================
A1. cobmap1 - create cobol record layouts from source programs or copy books
- prints field lengths, types, start,& end byte values
     cobmap2  - Alternate cobmap for Burroughs comp (1/2 byte aligned) fields
B1. cleanup - source code maintenance utility job with options to:
- translate to UPPER or lower case, seq# in cols 1-6 (or clear)
  gang progname in cols 73-80 (or clear), convert quotes, etc.
C1. cobcopy1 - copy a cobol program expanding the copy statements.
- makes it easier to investigate unfamiliar programs
- pre-requisite to some cobol diagnostic jobs (see COBcheck.doc)
D1. cobcopy2 - copy COBOL programs encoding group-names with date-field-name
  components & lengths, to facilitate Year 2000 investigations.
E1. cobfil51 - create a report of files used in COBOL programs, showing:
  external-name,open-modes,org,access,copybookname,internal-name
- especially useful for conversion planning
F1. cpybook1 - scan a COBOL program directory & verify all copy-books present
- write a report file with copy commands for missing copybooks
- write 2nd file with names of programs with missing copybooks
G1. uncopy1 - create new version of copybook with comp/binary removed
H1. fixrpt1 - Fix reports with missing LineFeeds, caused by COBOL programs
  with 'write AFTER advancing' (vs write BEFORE advancing).
H2. fixrpt2 - A better solution to missing lineFeeds, fixrpt2 searches for
  any CR not followed by an LF, & inserts an LF when required.
I1. cobmod - the classic example of a mass change to a program library
J1. cobmod1 - using 'sed' (UNIX stream editor)
J2. cobmod2 - 1st of 3 methods using 'uvcopy' (simplistic solution)
J3. cobmod3 - this job allows for most of the shortcomings of methods 1 & 2.
- splits lines if col 72 exceeded & adjusts preceding pic lth.
J4. cobmod4 - this method tables lines until period reached, which allows
  correction of preceding PIC X(??) length on the previous line.
K1. cobfix72 - correct cobol programs that have been processed by mass change
  utility that did not have the ability to split lines.
