Senior Programmer
Csc (Formerly Thecontinuumcompany)
Designed, coded, and tested an LU6 interface program as "proof-of-concept" before implementing in our products. Was on-site troubleshooter for a UK client to assure meeting their implementation deadline. Required solving abends and other errors and making corrections. Reduced real I/O in an application by conceiving/designing/coding an in-memory "Cache Manager" program. This assembler program acquired storage above the 16 Meg line for storing data used repetitively by the caller. An index to the data was built and maintained to speed retrieval and return of the data to the caller. The index was expandable by acquiring additional index storage and chaining off the previous area as a linked list. Wrote several macros, using conditional assembly to create code for MVS, DOS, or CICS to perform the function for which the macro was written. Corrected and enhanced vendor-delivered Panvalet exits. Added system functionality by coding new Panvalet transient exits. Wrote a mainframe "IDE" using VM/CMS, EXEC2, DMS/CMS, XEDIT macros, and Panvalet/CMS. Automated long distance bill-back processing for billable calls to clients. I installed new releases of MVS and VM vendor program products. Performed analysis, coding, and testing of programs converted from ISAM to VSAM. Resolved installation problems at customer sites.
