Computerized system and method for managing information

A system and method for managing data stored in a database. A mainframe computer associated with the database is operable to execute customer information control system (CICS) transactions that control an application program for processing the stored data. An open socket command from a remote computer enables CICS sockets at the mainframe for connecting the mainframe and the remote computer via a web server. The remote computer communicates on a global network using a client-server communications protocol and the CICS sockets permit the remote computer to communicate with the mainframe by the client-server communications protocol. Following the open socket command, the CICS transactions are executable by the remote computer for controlling the application program at the mainframe. In another form, the system and method extract selected academic registration data from the database for generating a course audit report.
