Position :

Junior Programmer

Primary IT Skills :

Programming Languages (HP NonStop):	COBOL85, SCOBOL, ENSCRIBE, TACL, NONSTOP SQL Various NSK Utilities – PUP, PATHMAKER, SPOOLCOM, PATHCOM, INSPECT, EMS etc.

Code Development :

My first task on joining The Software Partnership was to develop a COBOL85 Calendar Report program for the Bank of Scotland (BoS). This took a preformatted input file of records (1 record for each year) consisting of flags denoting bank holidays and normal work days. These records were processed and formatted into a readable NSK spooler report for use by BoS personnel. The program accompanied the Electronic Banking application deliverable. Work was carried out in-house.

Code Modifications and System Testing :

Responsible for the system testing of an NSK based Electronic Banking application developed for a major UK clearing bank. This involved testing the SCOBOL System Administration screens and subsequently applying fixes to problems identified in the Transaction Handler and sp/REQUESTER software. Tasks included debugging code using INSPECT, making any program changes required and subsequently re-testing the software. Work was carried out in-house.

Customer Acceptance :

Responsible for testing the NSK based System Administration software of a newly developed Electronic Banking application in accordance with supplied acceptance test scripts. The acceptance tests were carried out with the purchasing UK bank in attendance. All issues and observations were noted and where appropriate, fed back into the development area. Work was carried out in-house.
