Accounting information indexing function

Allows you to reference specific fields in the JOB or STEP account information. A field is defined as a unit of data that is separated by commas in the account information. To request indexing, specify the variable with (n), where n is the field number (1 through 71). &ACCT_JOB or &ACCT_STEP without an index accesses the first field of the accounting information by default.

The following are examples of using &ACCT_JOB and &ACCT_STEP.

First field of the JOB accounting information:

 &ACCT_JOB(1)

First field of the JOB accounting information (default):

 &ACCT_JOB

Third field of the JOB accounting information:

 &ACCT_JOB(3)

First field of the STEP accounting information (default):

 &ACCT_STEP

Fifth field of the STEP accounting information:

 &ACCT_STEP(5)
