Identify and modify all unit-dependent programs to access the matrix VSAM files. |
|
Discard redundant coding. |
|
Modify BMS screen formats to cater for the required changes and recompiled. SDF screens were also being created. |

Develop new programs, and maintain existing programs, using COBOL, CICS/VS, DL/I, VSAM, and sequential file accessing methods |
In an attempt to make the Port Kembla (N.S.W.) and Hastings (Vic.) steelworks compatible Ordering and Processing & Stock Control systems, a common approach method was designed using matrix table VSAM files to replace unit processing dependencies in all program coding. (A 'unit' is a physical steel processing plant within the steelworks complex.)

|
I created 20 new online and batch programs accessing DL/I and VSAM files, and amended 60 existing online and batch programs, as well as associated MVS/JCL procedures. |
|
Create new program specification documentation and modify existing documentation to reflect the required changes. |
|
Developed a PC - mainframe Barcode Reader data upload process that has been installed in Hastings and Port Kembla sites, and is used in both the CICS/VS and TSO environments. |
