On a contract assignment at one of the world’s largest oil companies, performed
analysis, design, programming, and (MFS, PSB, and DBD gens) of a Systems
Architecture Utility Software package that is part of a Production, Revenue and
Lease Settlement project. Used PL/1 language because of its superior programming
capabilities which proved to be the best choice to operate in the IMS DB/DC
environment I helped to create. The front-end of the system was written in
ASSEMBLER. The system provides a familiar look and feel, similar to ISPF, to the
end-user; and like ISPF, the users can traverse multiple layers of menus/screens
and do multiple functions from any point in the system. On most screens in the
system, the users can map their own meanings into the PF keys. Also, certain
profile information can be retained (based on Userid), and similar to ISPF, the
users can set their own JCL parameters (Job Cards, etc.) for job submission from
the on-line system.

implement this System Architecture in Division Order, Division of Interest and
Royalty Accounting systems.

DB/DC, DB2, ISPF Dialog Manager, and REXX.

costs and an annual savings of approximately $100, 000.
