Field level reengineering

The field ITEM-UPDATE-IN-PROGRESS in the control record is a 1-byte character field with a value of 0 or 1. It maps to a CHAR(3) DB2® column which will have a value of YES or NO. The transformation is performed by CTLRECF.

The field ITEM-FILE-LAST-UPDATE-DT in the control record is a packed decimal date field in Julian format – YYYYDDD. The exit CTLRECF converts it to DB2 DATE format using COBOL intrinsic functions.

The field ITEM-FILE-LAST-UPDATE-TM in the control record is a packed decimal time field in the format HHMMSS. CTLRECF converts it to a DB2 TIME column using the appropriate built-in CICS® VT conversion routines (VIDCONV).
