Adding a copy function for addresses to the customer database
Project duration: 4 months
Brief description
Enhancement of the customer database to include a copy function for addresses in order to avoid multiple entries when changes are made. The copy function is based on the change options for customers, accounts and/or contact partner addresses.
Supplement
The mainframe application that is to be expanded involves dialogs implemented as 3270 screens. The user interfaces are created with SDF II and the associated programs are implemented in PL/1. Data is stored in a DB2 database.
Subject description
Faulty or incomplete customer data, particularly addresses, can lead to lead to a series of different problems in a variety of processes, e.g. higher costs due to redundant data stocks or dissatisfied customers. For data that has been correctly entered and verified to be available to the various applications in the relevant context, it is important to add the option of copying the necessary data to the applications and data storage.
