NETACCT - Define Network/JES2 Account Number Correspondence

The NETACCT statement specifies the correspondence between a JES2 (local) account number (or range of account numbers) and the network account number (or range of account numbers). In its simplest form, the statement defines a direct correspondence between a single JES2 account number and a single network account number. A collection of NETACCT statements is used to define lookup tables for conversion between JES2 account numbers and corresponding network account numbers.

Each NETACCT statement can cause an entry to be made in two lookup tables: a JES2-to-network conversion lookup table and a network-to-JES2 lookup table. The JES2-to-network table is used by JES2 input service to obtain network account numbers for jobs which specify JES2 account numbers but do not specify a network account number through a /*NETACCT control statement. The network-to-JES2 table is used by the JES2 NJE job receiver and the JES2 NJE SYSOUT receiver to obtain local JES2 account numbers for jobs and SYSOUT data received from other nodes.

When specifying multiple NETACCT initialization statements, ensure that the ranges specified on each statement do not overlap. For example, if the first NETACCT statement specifies a range from A11 to B33 and the next NETACCT initialization statement specifies numbers from A27 to B0, JES2 does not provide a JES2 account number for jobs with network account numbers from A11 to A26 and B1 to B33. The conversion of JES2 account numbers to network account numbers is unaffected. For more information on specifying JES2 and network account numbers, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.
