ITS 255 - Advanced COBOL and Mainframe Applications

Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours lecture per week Prerequisite(s): ITS 155. ITS 255 develops the technical skills a programmer needs to design and implement advanced structured COBOL programs in a mainframe environment. Topics include multiple level tables, subprograms, VSAM files, Job Control Language and online systems. Students also prepare programs to run as production runs in a simulated work environment. Upon successful completion of ITS 255, the student should be able to: Design, write and run advanced structured COBOL programs for business application problems including multiple level tables, subprograms and VSAM files. Analyze and debug complex COBOL programs and ensure accurate results. Use Job Control Language (JCL) to instruct a mainframe computer in the execution requirements of a COBOL job. Understand the fundamental concepts of a mainframe online system, including the design of screen layouts. Prepare programs for production runs in simulated real work environments where a system is expected to perform correctly the 3 first time it is run for production. The student will create his/her own test data and JCL to prepare a system which is ultimately tested by the instructor for validity.
