JR70TVA1: Debit Record Creation

In JR70TVA1, CA JARS Wizard is used to:

Calculate the charge for the user. In this sample the charge is based on the elapsed time of use of a tape volume. Because CA JARS Wizard has a flexible language for computing new fields, and since information about the tape volume is carried in the TVA billing record, the charge can be based on anything in the record. For example, a surcharge could be charged for 1600 BPI density tape volumes.
Sum the charges for the account and print a report showing the charge by account.
Write a debit record for each account. The debit record contains the account information and the charge that was calculated. All debit records are in a CA JARS run that reports on charges by account. The charge for tape volume usage is added to the other charges that are calculated on an account basis.

JR70TVA1 executes on the assumption that your tape management system master file contains an account number. For CA 1, the account number is taken from the TMC TMUSER field. For CA DYNAM/TLMS, the account number is taken from the VMF BAJOBACC field.

Note: It is your responsibility to ensure that a valid account number is contained in the appropriate field for your tape management system.

JR70TVA1 does test for a blank account number. If found, JR70TVA1 uses the account MISC.ACCOUNT for the account number. You can alter this accordingly.

Be sure to include DD statements for the following ddnames:

CAIJWI (your TVA billing file)
CAIJOP (the report file for the debit record)
