The VSE job accounting records as generated by the CA $JOBACCT Interface Routine contain fields similar to those in the SMF records. These fields can be employed in the same manner for accounting purposes.
The User Information on the VSE JOB statement is carried through CA JARS on each job step record for the job. The User Information captured by the Job Accounting Option in the DOS supervisor operates in the following manner:
// JOB MYJOB 1234ABCDXYZ
The User Information field begins with the second position following the last character of the Jobname. This means that the field floats on the JOB statement, depending on the length on the Jobname. A maximum of 16 characters are picked up and placed in the User Information field without any alteration.
