Work History.
I am currently enjoying early retirement from the Bank of Scotland where I was employed since leaving school in 1967 and went from Operator to Shift Leader,Operations Analyst,Maintenance Programmer, Analyst Programmer, Systems Programmer, Project Manager of a Systems Programming team to Project Manager of the Bank's Print Presentation Team.
March 1999 to September 1999
I did a 6 months contract at the Royal Bank of Scotland doing some Y2K testing in part of their system programming area, mainly on their Infoman system and also writing some RACF modules. The money was good but the work was not too exciting and I declined an extention
May 1995 to Dec 31 1998
Due to my great interest in print I was made Project Manager of the Bank's Print Presentation Team. Although this may sound quite grand it was basically a 1 man and a dog operation. We have now elevated the status & work of the team to the point where we have 5 staff (including me) who are responsible for the setup and maintenance of all matters related to print. This includes not only the creation of Page/Formdefs, overlays and graphic elements but also the writing of Cobol programs which use AFP/API calls. This has enabled to Bank to produce high quality printed output without having to install specialised print software. Although I managed the team I am still very technical and have been involved in the coding of a few Cobol AFP/API programs and also some Assembler modules linking to ACIF. I was involved in the Bank's distributed print strategy, in the use of LMO techniques and also in the use of AFP/3900/TROY combinations to print cheque books for the Bank.

March 1986 to May 1995.
I joined the Systems Programming Department working within the MVS team.This involved day to day maintenance, installation and evaluation of new products, writing interfaces and general purpose software to allow Application Teams use of advanced features without complex programming. I became involved with AFP and was responsible for writing software to ensure a secure environment with the use of digitised signatures. Involvement included the following :-

AFP/PSF	Install, tailor and control
JES328X	Install and tailor
INFOMAN	Install, tailor and control
SAM	Set up and tailor to interface with INFOMAN
DMNL	Usermod for End to End Authentication
CBIPO	Set up environment for CBIPO MVS/XA 2.2.

In September 1988 I became leader of the Bank's Program Products team which originally excluded any of the operating system software used within the Bank but later this became a very fine distinction.
One of my last projects within the department was establishing the basis of a print strategy withing the Bank.
This was a long hard task as initially no-one could see any benefits of adopting a relatively expensive method of printing when line print had served so well for so long.
My other projects included DFHSM, ACF2 and preparing for System Managed Storage (DFSMS). As well as running my team I was also responsible for evaluating software and advising our users on the suitability of various software packages.
The team was responsible for the installation and maintenace of a number of IBM/non IBM product offerings some of which are listed below

ACF2
CA/1
C/A7 & 11
DCF
DFHSM
DFSORT
EASYTRIEVE+

The team was also responsible for the setup and maintenance of the first P/C LAN within the Systems Software Area.

Jan 1985 to Feb 1986.
I worked on the Banks Branch Accounting system in a maintenance capacity and during this time I prepared and ran a course in assembler for some members of the project team.

Jan 1982 to Jan 1985.
I was involved in the rewrite of the Banks S.W.I.F.T. system.This involved the design,specification and programming of an interface with I.B.M's Direct Multi Network Link (D.M.N.L.) package and the Banks overseas accounting system. The project involved extensive use of I.M.S DLI and some use of conversational programs.The project was successfully implemented on time in April 1984 and was maintained by myself and two junior programmers until I left the team in January 1985.

1977 to 1982.
I was involved in maintaining and developing the Banks S.W.I.F.T. system interfacing with I.B.M's Direct Swift Link (D.S.L.).This system made extensive use of V.T.A.M.

1974 to 1977.
I was a maintenance programmer involved in making alterations to existing programs and making corrections on a 'firefighting' basis.The team was also responsible for the maintenance of testing,load,and Panvalet libraries the latter of which are used extensively in the Bank.I took part in some D.O.S. to O.S. conversions during this time.

1972 to 1974.
I was one of the Banks first Operations Analysts responsible for the creation of J.C.L. procedures,education of operations staff in O.S. techniques and the education of the Data Controllers in J.C.L.

1967 to 1972.
I was in operations starting as a trainee and finishing up as a shift leader responsible for 12 people.
