4.1.1.2 Cost Center Structure Example

The sample installation needs three account codes to
accommodate its accounting and chargeback needs.  The
structure is as follows:

    COSTCTR1 represents the department and is derived from
             the first three characters of the job name from
             SMF data.

    COSTCTR2 represents the project and is derived from the
             second three characters of the job name from SMF
             data.

    COSTCTR3 represents the user and is derived from the
             first twenty characters of the programmer name
             field from SMF data.

To set up the cost centers, code the following:


_____________________________________________________________


+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| Date: __/__/__                   Administrator: _________ |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
     Level     Length   Cost Center Name

       1       __3     _'DEPARTMENT'___________________
       2       __3     _'PROJECT'______________________
       3       _20     _'USER'_________________________
