Specifying accounting information *CALL,dspname

Function

JES3 provides an accounting routine that allows job accounting information to be included with output associated with a callable DSP. If you do not specify the ACCT parameter, default accounting information is used based on the ACCOUNT initialization statement (see z/OS JES3 Initialization and Tuning Reference.

Parameters

dspname

Specifies a JES3 callable dynamic support program.

ACCT =‘acctno’

Specifies an account number (up to 42 characters). This parameter can be omitted (the comma must be entered) if the account number is not used or is part of the account information field.

‘acctinfo’

Specifies accounting information (up to 42 characters) to be included with the called DSP's output.

If the above parameters contain only alphanumeric characters, the apostrophes can be omitted. If an apostrophe is used as part of the information, then it must be specified as two consecutive apostrophes.

You can retrieve and display the account information to a callable DSP during output processing. See z/OS JES3 Messages, installation exit 20, for output display considerations.
