Crossett, Ar
Member of 5-person team interfacing Work Order Requisitions,
Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Inventory,
Manufacturing, Human Resources (Payroll), and General Ledger systems to
Dunn and Bradstreet Accounts Payable financial accounting package (DBS).
Database software used included VSAM, CICS, IMS/DLI and SQL/DS.
Programming languages used were RPG, COBOL and COBOL II.
I wrote and tested the initial extract procedures for Purchase Order
(VSAM), Vendor (DLI), and P/O Receipts (VSAM) databases as well as the CICS
transaction capture functions for these files in 14 Command Level COBOL
CICS programs. Two batch RPG programs were modified to capture generated
Purchase Orders. I wrote and tested account number conversion programs
for 8 VSAM/KSDS master files, 9 VSAM/KSDS table files, 2 VSAM/ESDS A/R
transaction files, 7 IMS/DLI database segments, and 7 SQL/DS database
tables. I replaced a source library table of department codes with a
VSAM/KSDS table in 7 batch RPG programs. I wrote and tested a COBOL II
program to generate price variation adjustment Jounal Vouchers for a
Chemical Inventory system. I wrote and tested 2 special Purchase Order
Receipt capture programs, a P/O Item Location conversion program, and a
general purpose Journal Voucher interface for the new A/P system.
Next, I wrote and tested a program to cull erroneous purchase order and
work order numbers from a weekly invoice transaction file and create a CICS
maintenance file for the data. I wrote and tested the CICS error
correction program and a batch program to update the original invoice
transaction file from the correction file. Also, I wrote and tested a
program to list vendors with more than 3 address lines.
In August, I began research, coding, and testing of 417 CMS files
impacted by the Year 2000 Problem. These files consisted of COBOL, RPG,
Assembler, DMS panels and tables, JCL, IDCAMS file definitions, and BMS map
sources. Of these, 107 were found to be non-compliant, modified, tested,
user certified, and installed by October 22.
In November, I researched 4 CICS shipping control programs and
associated files and developed a Bill of Lading batch interface to the
corporate SAP Custormer Order Entry System.
In December, I created a year-to-date Tissue Transaction History file.
Then I designed and created an SQL/DS Tissue_History database and a host of
queries to provide two years of history for mill floor inquiries. A
Parent Roll System transaction file was expanded and an RPG purge program
was modified to include 6 months of transaction history instead of one
month.
In January 1999, I wrote a CICS/VSAM Bill of Lading Maintenance program
to handle emergency changes to loading schedules in the case of server
outage. The program updated local shipping files and adjusted the SAP
transaction files for retro-active processing.
In February 1999, I analyzed 4 systems for pending rewrite - Raw
Materials Inventory, Vital Supplies Inventory, Outbound Shipping, and
Tissue Production Statistics.
In March 1999, I wrote 3 "cut-over" conversion programs for the SAP
interface and local shipping files.
I began the re-design and rewrite of the Raw Materials Inventory System
to incorporate accruals and variances from the new DBS A/P system. New
functionality of vendor-managed inventories was required.
In April 1999, I wrote 8 COBOL II programs, modified 2 COBOL II and 9
RPG II programs, and modified production JCL to parallel the month-end
accounting of the Raw Materials Inventory System. I designed and
implemented the new R/M Inventory Master file to capture A/P reconciliation
data.
In May 1999, I modified 8 CICS COBOL programs and DMS panels to
incorporate the new R/M Inventory Master file and associated transaction
data.
In June 1999, I modified 6 CICS/DMS programs to handle emergency
outages of the SAP shipping interface. The system ("IMPRINT") was
installed over the July 4 weekend.
In July 1999, I completed parallel testing and Year 2000 Certification
of the new Raw Materials Inventory System, and installed the system in the
production environment. I also wrote 2 COBOL II CICS programs to sort and
display Bill of Lading records in the IMPRINT system.
In August 1999, I wrote 2 CICS COBOL II programs to sort and display
Delivery Orders and to inter-act with existing Order Inquiry and Customer
Inquiry functions in the IMPRINT system. I also wrote and installed a Low
Inventory Report in the new Raw Materials Inventory System.
September thru October 1999 I reviewed 9 remaining systems for Y2K
Certification. Dozens of programs were remediated, tested and installed.
I assembled certification packages and delivered them to department
managers for approval.
