Maintain a suite of mainframe programs designed and coded using 64-Bit Assembler language and enterprise COBOL.

Responsibilities

This involved modifying, generating & testing Hogan Systems components such as IMS macros, to add or remove parameters for DBD or DBRC or PSB. Also, source module fixes for internal enhancement purposes, i.e. core dump report formatting, database compression routines and so on.

Modify COBOL copybooks-add/update fields. Minor to moderate coding changes made where appropriate. Compile and test dependent source modules used by the Hogan Umbrella Hogan system. Once user signoff was obtained, release upgrades into productions.

Work on issues to support HALDB partitioned IMS databases for external clients.

Research requirements for migrating LIBRARIAN source elements onto ENDEVOR since some of its clients favored this migration. This was done with an eye for DXC Technology to offer technical support as a billable service. Also, DXC intended to install ENDEVOR unto its own LPARs.

Bi-monthly participation in prod support conference calls with offshore colleagues to assist in resolving software issues and suggest enhancements.
