Staff Programmer/Analyst

• Developed, tested and maintained the Integrated Disbursement and Information System IDIS which interacts with the Line of Credit Control System LOCCS .
• Work was on an interactive on-line system used to track programs, projects, activities, grants, draw downs, and accomplishments. Users access the Web system via Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer browsers headquarters personnel access the system via a direct link to the mainframe. Ms. Stephens adapted mainframe software to work with WEB390, to allow the users to view and interact with the mainframe session on their PCs, as well as run reports and download data from the mainframe to their PC.
• This system maintains grant information awarding 6.5 B annually to communities throughout the United States. The funding details how much an activity costs, who the funding sources are and specific users and uses. Users can log in on-line, notify HQ that an activity has started, automatically releasing the share of funds to the user through a process called a drawdown. The LOCCS initiates the electronic transfer for funds request. The system tells LOCCS that an activity has been started, along with the associated dollar amount. LOCCS sends this electronic funds transfer request to the U.S. Department of Treasury's system for automatic deposit into the user's bank account.
• This is an IBM mainframe hosted system, written in COBOL II/CICS with DB2 as a backend. The data is stored in DB2 across multi years by user, project, and plan. Modified peripheral modules batch and files for plan loading to database, as well as programs going to and from LOCCS. Assist in solving specific production problems identified by users. Evaluated production data and modules, and recommend fixes to the on-site manager. Trained and assist new employees on system development and testing procedures. Worked with the QA team to ensure modules were tested thoroughly.
