Analyst.
SYS38
Operator.
Migrated from S370 Operator to SYS38 Operations to AS400 COBOL Programmer
DB Analyst2. Was promoted to a COBOL programmer as essentially learning on
my own how to apply my MVS COBOL skills and apply them to accessing
multiple Iseries or AS400 Db files and at 1st creating functional reports,
cutting the processing time of an existing set of audit informational
reporting hodpog of loosly tied together data manipulation commands/tools.
This saved much time and created reliability and ease in generating this
information to be viewed regularly by management. Management took notice
and obviously was pleased. I was immediately promoted to programmer
analysts from the desk top support department. COBOL essentially being my
1st HLL language ingrained in my skillset, I quickly started designing
complicated interactive/subfile multi-display data maintenance and order
processing transactional programs. Including CL, PF, LF, QRY, CMD, Etc and
all related tools. I got very good at AS400 programming during this tenure.
CDS also sending me to COBOL classes and technical conferences to further
my understanding to increase my ability to design COBOL programming
solutions for the ever growing Hearst Fulfillment divisions. COBOL is a HLL
that will for all time be ingrained in my skill-set.
