Translate Execution

The CA JARS data flow diagram shows the flow of information through translate (JSI) to CA JARS (JSIMAIN) and to Chargeback(CAKSLOAD).

Translate (JSI) creates the account summary or history file and the EXTDATA file that is more detailed than the summary, and is the only Translate output file that supports z/VM 5.2 and later account records. Translate is the first step of the two-step job. The files used by Translate are explained in the following table:
