Lead Programmer Analyst
- Developed 13 new programs for TSP system(Transaction Special Processing), as well as other developmental projects which included Credit Card Awards Processing, Credit Card Insurance, Payments Processing, Solicitations Processing, plus several 1 and 2 program on-line systems utilizing IMS / COBOL / DB2.
- Wrote CICS / COBOL / DB2-level 7 applications in a large mainframe environment. CICS is command level with GTB map source code. No batch work involved. The workload is very structured with specific tasks being done by specific people. Project analysis being done by business analysts. Took the analysis and translated that into a development project plan for coding and unit testing. Coded the development project from beginning-to-end.
- Provided analysis and translated into a project plan for coding and unit testing. Code was migrated up to the quality assurance environment using the ENDEVOR system.
- Utilized JCL extensively, using not only backward references but also made liberal use of the symbolic parameters allowed in OS JCL.
- Used EZTRIEVE+ as a utility program to extract data from a file to create a file for reporting or for testing major systems.
- Utilized several PC based products in addition to mainframe utilities. Mainframe includes online IBM XBUG which replaced Compuware utilities, TSO, DB2 utilities, embedded SQL. PC products include WINDOWS/XP, NETSCAPE, LOTUS NOTES. COBOL source is updated via TSO. Also participated in SDLC.
Senior Programmer Analyst
- Converted existing batch programs, from using only Columbus rates, to include the statewide rates due to the merger with the Atlanta plan.
- Wrote new CICS programs for Cash Recovery and Check Reconciliation systems. Programs used Command level CICS under MVS. Also interacted with IMS. At project end, was transferred to the claims processing team to provide enhancements to the existing system.
- Provided revisions to the existing system on an "as requested basis" and installed these revisions to the system as required. There was on-line CICS work, but the majority of the work is batch COBOL using both IMS databases as well as VSAM files.
- Provided on-call support for batch and on-line applications.
- Used EZTRIEVE+ as a utility program to extract data from a file to create a file for reporting or for testing major systems.
- Utilized JCL extensively, using not only backward references but also made liberal use of the symbolic parameters allowed in OS JCL.
- Other projects worked on involved producing BAR CODING for address lines on checks and remittances using CODE-1 software. Extensive use of SDLC.
