Billing Rates

The user must select a billing rate for each allocated track or kilobyte per day. Different billing rates can be selected and assigned to different volumes or groups of volumes. As an example, TSO volumes can be billed differently from IMS volumes, or 3350 volumes differently from 3380 volumes. All volumes to be billed at the same rate must be assigned a CATEGORY CODE in the PARMLIB member DSBCATEG. The associated billing rate for each category code must then be entered into parmlib member DSBRATEC.

Basically, a category code is a code assigned to a group of volumes that are to be assigned the same per-day billing rate.
