Required Skills
- Enterprise COBOL on z/OS plus Natural/Adabas (NaturalOne), with a financial/treasury accounting flavor. The tough part is the overlap. Plenty of people have COBOL/JCL/VSAM; far fewer also have 5+ years of NaturalOne and Adabas. Pooling/sweeps experience is only preferred.
- NaturalOne (Eclipse-based Natural IDE), 5+ yrs. This is the rarest and the real filter.
- Natural + Adabas: DDMs, descriptors/superdescriptors, Adabas file design
- Enterprise COBOL z/OS, 5+ yrs, batch and online
- JCL/procs/GDG/SORT/restart-rerun, TSO/ISPF
- VSAM + Adabas, 3+ yrs
- Financial accounting: double-entry posting, accruals, value dating, reconciliation, month-end close
- Legacy tracing through copybooks, call chains, job streams
