programs that had to be rewritten and new VSAM files to be developed. Since Ji
tney Jungle was so small they had no need in the past for a paging capability in
their CICS software. Therefore I had to develop a paging routine for their exi
sting programs and the development of new CICS programs. All of the programs in
cluding the CICS programs were tested, installed, documented and the users were

10/77 - 08/80 JIM WALTER RESOURCES, Birmingham, AL - A Manufacturing Company
Programmer/Analyst
Jim Walter Resources, a coal mine and coke plant company, had recently been crea
ted from U.S. Pipe. All of the programs were duplicated and were distinguished
from the U.S. Pipe programs by adding an "R" in front of the
Page Four
program and file names because they were using the same computer. The Account R
eceivables was a batch system that was in shambles and was out of balance becaus
e they were using Control Clerks and Keypunch Operators running the system. I w
as hired to do the SDCL along with a Credit Manager, the main user. It took a f
ew weeks to do the basic analysis and begin the output design, determining what
data was available, what data was to be created, what reports were needed, etc.
I designed and developed a DL/1 database, which I had to convert to IMS when JW
R converted to MVS while I was developing the new A/R system. I designed and cre
ated a VSAM transaction file with bi-directional activity between the database a
nd the VSAM file. I designed and created three on-line CICS screens that includ
ed a customer screen, invoice payment screen with the capability to post to the
General Ledger and a customer transaction screen. I designed and created 25 sup
porting batch programs including customer billing statements, daily, weekly, mon
thly YTD and year-end reports. I developed a User manual and trained the user a
nd an operator's manual. The system was thoroughly tested by me and the Systems
Programming before putting it into production. This A/R balanced to the penny
every month and immediately dropped the outstanding receivables from $29 million
to $20 million. I understand that this A/R system that I designed and created
from scratch was used from 1979 when I had it fully in production until 1998 whe
n they acquired a new software and hardware system for Y2K.
