public class MVSFileParser extends FTPFileParser
MVS Folder Listing Parser The purpose of this parser is to be able handle responses from an MVS z/OS mainframe FTP server. Many places on the 'net were consulted for input to this parser. Importantly, this information from com.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip group: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip/msg/25acc89563f1e93e http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip/browse_frm/thread/11af1ba1bc6b0edd?hl=eninvalid input: '&lr'invalid input: '&ie'=UTF-8invalid input: '&oe'=UTF-8invalid input: '&rnum'=6invalid input: '&prev'=/groups?q%3DMVS%2BPartitioned%2Bdata%2Bset%2Bdirectory%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D4e7k0p%2524t1v%2540blackice.winternet.com%26rnum%3D6invalid input: '&pli'=1 http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/F1AA2032/1.5.15?SHELF=invalid input: '&DT'=20001127174124 Implementation Details 1- This supports folders and partitioned data sets only. This does not support JCL or HFS 2- You must treat partitioned data sets (Dsorg PO/PO-E) like folders and CD to them 3- Dsorg=PS is a downloadable file as are all the contents of a Partitioned Data Set. 4- When downloading from a folder, the Recfm must start with V or F. Note - the location for this is completely up for debate. I modeled this after the ftpsget/FTPSConnection and how ftpsput reaches up and into the ftpsget package to get it. However, I think a better solution is to have an entry/common. James and I agreed (in Matt's absense) to model the behavior after something already existing rather than introduce a new folder (like entry/common or entry/util).

  • Method Details

    • isValidFormat

      public boolean isValidFormat(String[] listing)
      Abstract Class Implementations
      Overrides:
      isValidFormat in class FTPFileParser
      Parameters:
      listing - listing to test
      Returns:
      true if valid
    • parse

      public FTPFile parse(String raw) throws ParseException
      This parses an individual line from the directory listing.
      Specified by:
      parse in class FTPFileParser
      Parameters:
      raw - raw string to parse
      Throws:
      ParseException
    • setLocale

      public void setLocale(Locale arg0)
      Could in theory be used to figure out the format of the date/time except that I'd need time on the server to see if this actually works that way. For now, we ignore the locale and try to figure out the date format ourselves.
      Specified by:
      setLocale in class FTPFileParser
      Parameters:
      arg0 - locale to set
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns parser name. By extensibility oversight in the third-party library we use, this isn't used to match the on the server (unfortunately).
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
    • parsePDSLine

      protected FTPFile parsePDSLine(String[] aLine, String raw) throws ParseException
      Parses a Partitioned Dataset Entry, and returns an FTPFile object.
      Parameters:
      aLine - Split line
      raw - Unparsed raw string
      Returns:
      FTPFile unless it's the header row.
      Throws:
      ParseException
    • parseFolder

      protected FTPFile parseFolder(String[] aLine, String raw)
      Parses a line from a folder listing. Note: Returns NULL if it's the header line, if it is ARCIVE or Migrated, if the record format doesn't start with 'F' or 'V', and if the dsorg doesn't start with 'P'.
      Parameters:
      aLine - Line split apart
      raw - Raw line from the transport
      Returns:
      FTPFile for the line unless it is expressly excluded
    • splitMVSLine

      protected String[] splitMVSLine(String raw)
      This is a split + trim function. The String.split method doesn't work well if there are a multiple contiguous white-space characters. StringTokenizer handles this very well. This should never fail to return an array, even if the array is empty. In other words, this should never return null.
      Parameters:
      raw - The string to tokenize from the MainFrame
      Returns:
      String array of all the elements from the parse.
    • isValidDirectoryFormat

      protected boolean isValidDirectoryFormat(String[] listing)
      Returns true if this seems to be a recognized MVS folder (not PDS) listing.
      Parameters:
      listing -
      Returns:
      true if by all appearances this is a listing of an MVS folder
    • isValidPDSFormat

      protected boolean isValidPDSFormat(String[] listing)
      Returns true if this seems to be a recognized MVS PDS listing (not folder).
      Parameters:
      listing -
      Returns:
      true if by all appearances this is a listing of the contents of a PDS
    • checkDateFormat

      protected boolean checkDateFormat(String dateStr)
    • guessDateFormat

      protected void guessDateFormat(String dateStr)
      This method will look at the incoming date string and try to figure out the format of the date. Googling on the internet showed several possible looks to the date: dd/MM/yy yy/MM/dd MM/dd/yy yyyy/MM/dd yyyy/dd/MM I never saw samples showing dd/MM/yyyy but I suppose it's possible. Not happy with this algorithm because it feels clumsy. It works, but it's not very elegant (time crunch).
      Parameters:
      dateStr -
    • isPartitionedDataset

      public boolean isPartitionedDataset()
      Returns:
      true if listing is a PDS
    • getDateFormatString

      public String getDateFormatString()
      Returns the date format string in use for parsing date in the listing.
      Returns:
      string format
    • setDateFormatString

      public void setDateFormatString(String value)
      Provides ability to pre-specify the format that the parser will use to parse dates.
      Parameters:
      value - the string to set.
