Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for managing computer jobs with prerequisite jobs in a main frame computing system. A determination module is included that determines a job grouping of jobs for processing by a computer with a mainframe operating system. A grouping module is included to generate generating a job grouping structure associated with the job grouping. The job grouping structure comprises one or more prerequisite jobs and a dependent job that depends on successful completion of each prerequisite job associated with the dependent job. A management module is included to submit the jobs in the job grouping structure to the computer for processing. The jobs are submitted such that each prerequisite job of the dependent job successfully completes prior to submission of the dependent job.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for merging manual parameters with predefined parameters. The system includes a parse module configured to receive a command string having multiple nested manual parameters and a build module configured to generate a parameter tree having manual parameter nodes and predefined parameter nodes. The system may also include a search module configured to compare manual parameter nodes to predefined parameter nodes to identify matching parameter contexts, and a command module configured to generate a command string. The method includes receiving a command string having multiple nested manual parameters, identifying manual parameters within the command string, and generating a parameter tree having manual parameter nodes and predefined parameter nodes. The method also includes comparing manual parameter nodes to predefined parameter nodes to identify parameter nodes having a matching parameter context, and generating a command string.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for converting data into source code such that the data can be translated and become part of a load module suitable for accessing from a load library. The apparatus includes a parser module, a format module, and an output module. The parsing module analyzes a data file having one or more data lines. The format module automatically formats the data file so that it can be translated by a translator. The formatted data file includes one or more computer language instructions containing the appropriate syntax corresponding to the particular translator. The output module outputs the formatted data file as an output file that can be renamed to preserve the original data file. A verification module allows the formatting of the data file to be verified.
