Using Accounting Information

The supplied accounting information is passed to the back end, and is stored in an area accessible from the PTE for use by accounting and security exits.

For example, the information could be used by either exit 4 or 5 to change header information in the statistics block described by #STRDS.

The following table describes how the accounting data can be found:

Field Name	Control Block	Comments
TCELTEA	TCE	Points to the LTE. Determine whether it is a CAICCI-related LTE (type is LTEBULK).
LTEPTEA	LTE	Points to the PTE.
PTELACCT	PTE	Points to a 32-byte accounting information area. This area must be binary zeros if no accounting information was passed from the PC or if the front end is not a PC.

When using the Type 4 JDBC driver with CA IDMS r16 SP2 or later, you can add this information to the user profile at sign on. Define a system or user profile attribute and specify the ACCT=profile-key-name option in the listener PTERM definition. This allows SQL statements to access the accounting information using the PROFILE function. Procedures written in COBOL or CA ADS can use the IDMSIN01 GETPROF callable service to access the accounting information.

Note:

For more information about programs invoked by user exits, see the CA IDMS System Operations Guide.
For more information about field names in various IDMS control blocks, see the CA IDMS DSECT Reference Guide.
For information about defining the listener for the Type 4 JDBC driver, see the "Setting Up Your System" chapter and the CA IDMS System Generation Guide.
