on the Mainframe. Utilities worked hand-in-hand with ENDEVOR, the COBOL

compiler and many other functions at Verizon Wireless to produce various

reports and other deliverables previously produced manually.

Setup automated daily, weekly, monthly jobs to run off hours to keep

environment software in synch, perform automatic recompiles in testing and

development environments and run Daily Reports.

new datacenter instance. Maintained Change Management software (JCL, REXX,

PROCs) in synch across all three datacenter instances and within Source

Integrity.

Rewrote mainframe/GUI promotion system. This process allowed users to

promote their changes to testing and production environments on all three

mainframe instances. Re-wrote many pieces in JCL and REXX. Added email

notifications in many places to notify users of Concurrent Development

behind when major problems arose. This project produced processing and

storage savings of approximately $360,000 per year along with reducing

manual support needs significantly. This project was completed on time and

under budget.

utilities were created using COBOL II, JCL, REXX, CLIST, Dialog Manager and

Easytrieve.

Created testing tool to automatically create transactions to fix accounts

stuck in our system and to trigger feeds needed from other systems for

accounts not yet processed. Created documentation on this utility and

trained my peers on its use in order to process thousands of accounts stuck

in our system. This utility also saved significant processing time and

money.
