What can I do with this system value?

This system value specifies the type of use information that you want the system to write to a journal. If neither option is selected (*NONE), no accounting information is written to a journal. You can select to write job usage information to a journal (*JOB) or to write printer output and printer use information to a journal (*PRINT). If either option is selected, the system accounting journal (QACGJRN) must exist in the QSYS library; if it does not exist, the change is rejected.
