 Created a program to report on messages assignedto accountsand to summarize thenumber of
messages/accounts that werepresent with statements.
 Created the necessary jcl (job card and proc) to run theprogram and send out emailswith thesummary report
and load thedetail report to Ondemand system.
 Created a program to take a pipe delimitedfileand convert it to a filethat can be used as input to an Exstream
module for fully paid lending reporting on statements.
