Journal entries for job accounting

 

The system provides different journal entries for the different types of data that can be gathered:

• Job resource accounting: The job (JB) journal entry contains data summarizing the resources used for a job or for different accounting codes used in a job.

• Printer file accounting:

  • Direct print (DP) journal entry: Contains data about printer files produced on print devices (nonspooled).

  • Spooled print (SP) journal entry: Contains data about printer files made by a print writer (spooled).

• Job accounting journal entry field information
  These tables list the fields information that are in the job journal entry. Additional information about the various fields is found in the field reference files QSYS/QAJBACG and QSYS/QAJBACG4.

• Printer file accounting data for direct print and spooled print
  The accounting code used for the direct print (DP) or spooled print (SP) journal entries is the accounting code of the job at the time the file is closed. Sometimes a DP or SP entry is created before the file is closed (such as when a writer which is creating a SCHEDULE(*IMMED) file is ended). When this happens the current accounting code of the job is used.
