This statement, identified by the statement type DEBIT, is optional. The DEBIT statement is used like the CREDIT statement to supplement the accounting algorithm defined on the VMRATE and FORMRATE statements. Debits may be manually introduced to the Report Writer to be applied to a specific session or summarization level (account, department, project, and so forth). The DEBIT statement is typically used to:

The DEBIT statement format and processing is identical to that of the CREDIT statement; the only difference is in the use of the amount field.

The Debit Amount, in dollars, is carried through the Report Writer and made available for display as DE ID 80 in the VM Output Data Elements Table.

The Debit Amount also affects the Total Charge, Distributed Charge, and Percent Totals at any level of display (DE 46, 47, 41 and 42, respectively). The following are examples of typical DEBIT statement setups:

                                                    position 75 x
ADEBIT   6        AAA             9809  **DISK**                  6000
ADEBIT   6        AAA             9809  **TAPE**                  5000
ADEBIT   6        AAA             980915*BLOCK* 1330             22500

The first two DEBIT statements for Report A are to be applied against CPU Identification 6. The account number AAA, is assumed to be in the first three characters of the Accounting fields information. The current September billing is to include the Debit Amounts of $60.00 and $50.00, to be charged against account AAA for the rental of disks and tapes respectively.

The third DEBIT statement for Report A reflects a $225.00 charge against the same account for block time rental started at 13.30 on September 15, 1998. The debit can be associated with a particular VM userid by placing that userid in positions 41-48.
