Basic Accounting Table (BAT)

The Basic Accounting Table is a layout of the job and job-step records contained in the account file (CAIJSACT). The input SMF, VSE and HISTORY data has been processed and stored in this format by the report program. The fields described in this table are used in these control statements:

• SORT
• GROUP
• GROUPC
• Some elements of this table are not used unless rates are defined on one of these control statements:
  • RATE
  • TSORATE
  • RJERATE
  • SNARATE
  • APPCRATE
  • FORMRATE
  • CREDIT
  • DEBIT
  • BUDGET

In the following tables, all fields are in EBCDIC character format unless otherwise specified (PKD=packed decimal; BIN=binary).

The following layouts do not apply to EXTDATA records, which maintain different formats. These formats are defined in the CA Earl macros prefixed with MRXT. They reside in CAJREARL. See the "EXTDATA Reporting" chapter for more detail.
