Accounting information

ASCH
The information passed on the JOB statement.
DB2®
Accounting information is associated with the originator of the query; for example, the accounting information from TSO, JES, or DDF.
DDF
Accounting information is the value of the DB2 accounting string associated with the DDF server thread.
JES
The information passed on the JOB statement, not the EXEC statement.
Note: WLM/SRM ignores this if the JES2 init deck has a JOBDEF statement with parm ACCTFLD=OPTIONAL specified.
OMVS
Accounting data is normally inherited from the parent process of a z/OS® UNIX System Services address space. In addition, when a daemon creates a process for another user, accounting data is taken from the WORKATTR of the RACF® user profile. A user can also assign accounting data by setting the _BPX_ACCT_DATA environment variable or by passing accounting data on the interface to the _spawn service. For more information about z/OS UNIX System Services accounting information, see z/OS UNIX System Services Planning.
STC
The information passed on the JOB statement.
TSO
The accounting information specified by the TSO/E user when logging on to the system.

Because JCL supports 143 characters in accounting information, and the application allows only eight characters per rule, the application allows “nesting” for accounting information. Start of changeSee Organizing work for classification for more information.End of change

Example of nesting accounting information

In this example, you can “nest” accounting information (AI) in the classification rules.
Subsystem Type . . . . . . . . JES    (Required)
Description  . . . . . . . . . All batch rules

   -------Qualifier-------------            -------Class--------
   Type       Name     Start                Service     Report
                                  DEFAULTS: BATHOOEY    ________
1  AI         43876AAA 1                    ________    ________
2    AI         DEPT58*  9                  BATHBEST    ________
 

This example shows the classification rules for the JES subsystem. You can classify with more than the allowed 8 characters by nesting accounting information. In the example, all work with accounting information ‘43876AAADEPT58’ starting in position 1 for 14 characters is associated with service class BATHBEST.
