Responsibilities:

• Project leader Y2K: The project involves Analysis, Conversion/Test and Implementation. Century-analysis program and impact measurement tool were used in the first phase of century-modification program, and conversion tool was used in conversion/test phase, where century-implement program and application production/live tool was used in final phase. A total of 8274 COBOL programs, copy books, link, call (subroutines), BMP, MPP, Screen (CICS maps), and IMS segments were affected and impacted by Y2K conversion project. It was done in a timely manner with full appreciation from higher management. SAS8 were widely used in JCL and SAS libraries.
• Lead a team of seven; Y2K project implemented with century-program with calls and links with libraries. Responsibilities also include Unit/Integration Testing, usage of file-aid, expeditor, VS COBOL II; creation/modification of JCL and PROCS; Code, Test, and Implement them into production; Created programming specifications and work on programming changes to critical applications; Worked with QA analysts to ensure proper test plans are developed; Supervised Y2K project, code, test, and moved into production; Designed, built, and maintained SAS market variance programs, marketing lists from PC/Access/Excel / PowerPoint on to Mainframe, SAS files and a variety of databases / storages using JCL, SAS file extraction, merging, editing techniques and FTP/SMTP.
