DASD Billing Total JCL

The following JCL is required to generate (extend) the billing totals at the end of a billing cycle:

//TOTALS  EXEC EXTEND

//SYSIN    DD  *
EXTEND COMMAND and PARAMETERS as described below

Note: In order to run the EXTEND JCL, a restart data set must be allocated. If this has not been done, see Activating DASD Billing in the Installation Guide.

The EXTEND command causes billing records and reports to be produced and is used at the end of a billing cycle.

The EXTEND command syntax is:

EXTEND VOLUME=,DSNAME=,SIMULATE,REMOVE

A list of one or more volumes and volume prefixes to which processing is to be confined. Omission of this parameter results in no exclusion on the basis of volume. (A maximum of 50 entries is supported.)

DSNAME=: A list of one or more data set names and patterns to which the run is to be limited. (A maximum of 50 entries is supported.)
SIMULATE: Inclusion of this parameter will cause the reports to be produced without the updating of the billing records.
REMOVE: Will cause all selected entries in the DASD Billing Subfile (DASDSPCB) to be removed from the Subfile at the end of the processing. Entries that were not selected by use of the VOLUME= and DSNAME= parameters will not be removed.
