COMP 35 Project Introduction
The consulting firm that you currently work for has been hired to enhance a concert reservation system for a local ticket agency. You will be responsible for modifying three of the programs:
1) The menu program that lets a user invoke one of six programs
2) The patron inquiry program that displays all information about a patron. 3) A program that allows a patron to reserve at most 6 concert tickets.
The concert reservation system uses 2 KSDS VSAM files; one to keep track of the concerts available and the other to keep track of the patrons. The concert file stores each concert’s title and status. There is a separate concert record for each ticket for the concert; therefore if there are five tickets available to The Rolling Stones there will be five records for that concert. The concert file is indexed by a combination of the concert number and a copy number. When a ticket is reserved, a flag is turned on indicating that the ticket is reserved and the patron’s phone number is added to the file.
The patron file stores each patron’s phone number, name and address. It is indexed by the patron’s phone number. The patron file also contains a count of the number of tickets the patron has currently reserved. This count is incremented whenever a patron reserves a ticket and decremented when he/she cancels one. Since the local ticket agent only has a few tickets for sale for each concert in this region, the number of tickets purchased by a patron is limited to 6.
As a member of the programming team working on this project, you will be expected to perform as an IS professional. As with any business, money is a driving factor. To ensure the cost of this project does not go over budget, you are expected to adhere to the following:
You are expected to attend all classes – information should not have to be relayed to individuals twice.
Time is money!
Classes are to be treated as business meetings; arrive on time, no conversations (with classmates or cell
phones!), no misuse of handheld devices or laptops, come prepared to take notes etc.
THE TEXTBOOK IS REQUIRED. THE 2ND AND 3RD TESTS ARE BOTH OPEN TEXTBOOK. Bring your text to
every class.
All programs will contain necessary documentation.
Design is to be thoroughly developed before implementation begins.
Information sessions or brainstorming amongst programmers is encouraged, however all programs are
to be unique!
At this point in your career, you should have acquired appropriate problem solving skills to not only
design but to debug your own programs. As the project leader, I should not be inundated with numerous questions. You should be asking key questions that will help me understand your program. Questions are to be at the design level, not the code level. You have an extensive background in COBOL and should not be asking syntax questions. Remember your colleagues have deadlines to meet and you should not be using up their time to complete your project.
All due dates must be adhered to. Again time is money.
Remember that you are writing code for the maintenance programmer. Ensure that you develop
solutions that are not only easy to read, but are easy to maintain. A program isn’t necessarily correct,
just because it works.You will be graded on your design too.
Since all of the programs exist in this system, you are to make appropriate changes to these programs.
You will not be rewriting the programs from scratch.
All programs must be free of syntax errors before being accepted.
The lab exercises are designed to help you complete the programs for this project. Write ups for the labs are posted on Blackboard each week, providing helpful hints.

ASSIGNMENT #1 Due Date: Tues Jan 29th (must be demo’d during lab)
You are required to modify the BMS maps for the patron inquiry and ticket reservation programs. You will need to copy the maps from the SLC.CPA.SOURCE.PDS. Refer to the screen layout for each program on the previous pages to determine the changes/additions required.
Also, for both maps:
Do not add initial values to the BMS map for any program output fields. The Xs and edited picture clause that appear on the screen layout are to appear as blanks on the screen when viewing your map. They will be assigned values by the COBOL program in a later assignment.
Have all user input appear as underscores when the map is displayed.
Note: Have user input appear as underscores. The program output, which appears as X’s on the screen layout, are to appear as blanks on the screen when you view your map. i.e. don’t add them as INITIAL values for the fields since the COBOL program will be supplying them.
Patron Inquiry Program Map:
The BMS code for the Patron Inquiry program is called INQBMS.
Ensure that the cursor stops after the patron phone number has been entered. Position the cursor at the patron phone number when the map is displayed.
Ticket Reservation Program Map:
The BMS code for the Ticket Reservation program is called ADDBMS.
Ensure that the cursor skips to the first ticket number after the patron phone number has been entered.
Position the cursor in the home position (top left hand corner) when the map is displayed. Programmer Generated Symbolic Map:
You will also need to create your own symbolic map to include all fieldnames for the ticket reservation program. Include a table for the ticket information (ticket number, concert and status).
Follow the rules on page 131 of your textbook. See Chapter 13 for code examples.
You can use a word or notepad for your solution.
Add your name as a comment to all code.
Maps will be evaluated on-line on the due date during our scheduled lab. It is your responsibility to ensure that CICS points to the newest version of your maps prior to demo’ing your assignment.
Place your assignment in your folder for the course and copy into my ‘ found under
DropboxW7 on the college’s network shares.
Hand in: The programmer generated symbolic map of the Ticket Reservations program only
No paper copy is to be handed in.

ASSIGNMENT #2 Due Date: Tues Mar 12th (must be demo’d during lab)
The Patron Inquiry program has been partially written and is called INQCOB. You will need to copy the
program from the SLC.CPA.SOURCE.PDS.
Read the program specifications for the inquiry program on page 6 to learn more about this program.
Note: Before proceeding, you need to ensure that your inquiry map program is working properly and all changes recommended when assignment#1 was evaluated have been made.
Programming Guidelines
1. Complete lab ex#6 which has you write the CICS commands required for the program.
2. Validate the patron phone number. A phone number must be entered and cannot be
spaces. Use both the L and I fields when validating. Ensure your program is user-friendly.
There is a paragraph in the INQCOB program set up for you to add your editing criteria.
3. Your program must always display appropriate instructions on line 3 and error or program
response messages on line 23. DO NOT CHANGE THE WORDING OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.
4. Allow the user to press enter after viewing the patron record to clear the screen. If the user
enters a patron phone number when asked to clear the screen, simply ignore it.
5. Use an 88 level to represent each context in your communication area.
6. Do not set the MDT for any fields! Only the DUMMY field can set it.
7. Do not add INITIAL values to the BMS map for the trans-id and the user instructions.
8. If the patron file is not open, print an appropriate error message, do not abend the program.
9. Abend the program for exceptional conditions except (not open, not found and normal).
10. Ensure the keyboard does not lock when sending messages with the alarm set.
11. Keep the size of the PROCEDURE DIVISION and WORKING-STORAGE low. Avoid extra
variables and statements. e.g. user instructions should be hard coded and avoid constants.
12. Use the same context names in your program that appear in your event response chart
13. Use CEDF to ensure that you have set a context with every event. Your code must match
your event response chart.
Stub test your program. Add the CICS commands and test them before proceeding to the next modification required. If you have logic errors when testing your program, CICS will not tell you which statement is in error. You need to know the last change that you had made to the program. You don’t want to make a lot of changes and then test it!
Note: The program must have a condition code of zero to be graded
Place your assignment in your named folder for the course and copy into my ‘dropbox for COMP 35’ folder found under DropboxW7 on the college’s network shares.
Hand in: Context Response Chart
The inquiry program will be evaluated on-line as part of the grading for the assignment. It is your responsibility to ensure that CICS points to the newest version of your program and map prior to demo’ing your assignment.
35project2019 COMP 35 Page11
ASSIGNMENT #3 Due Date: Mon Apr 15th
The Ticket Reservation program exists and is called ADDCOB. You will need to copy the program from the SLC.CPA.SOURCE.PDS. Modifications are required to the program to allow the user to confirm the reservation or to make corrections to the data input before updating the files. (See Ticket Reservation Program Specifications). Ensure your program is user friendly.
Complex changes are required to this program to incorporate the enhancements required. Stub testing is a definite must!
Lab exercise # 8, 9 and 10 been designed to help you with the ticket reservation program.
Note: You will be updating both the Patron and Ticket Master Files.
To reset the files, run the on line program that has a trans-id of FIX
All programs (menu, inquiry and ticket reservations) will be evaluated on-line. It is your responsibility to ensure that CICS points to the newest version of each program and map prior to demo’ing your assignment.
Warning: if you lost points on the inquiry program and didn’t fix them, you will lose those points again!
Note: All evaluation is completed online. You do not submit any papers to me.
Do not set the MDT for any fields (other than the DUMMY field in BMS)!
20 points will be lost if used!
There are no extensions for this assignment.
We have dedicated lab time to work on the assignment. Don’t procrastinate!
