Figure 4-5. Charging Element Worksheet
Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:
1. COMPUTATION CODE
Description: Uniquely identifies this charging element
to CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Option.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 4, 0 - 9, A - F
NOTE: User-defined computation codes should be in the
range of 8000 and above.
2. INVOICE CATEGORY
Description: The Invoice Category provides a way to map
the detailed charging elements referenced by the
computation code into categories more easily understood
by the user. In some cases, there may be one-to-one
correspondence between the computation code and the
invoice category; in others, many computation codes may
be reported in one invoice category.
Default: None
Values: Alphanumeric, length 4
NOTE: This must be a valid entry in the Invoice
Category Table.
3. COMPLEX-LEVEL EXTERNAL FILE ELEMENT
Description: This field indicates whether the charging
element belongs to a complex-level external file.
Default: NO
Values: Character, length 3
NOTE: For the standard and recurring debit and credit
files, specify YES and refer to the directions
for FILE and ELEMENT NAME.
4. FILE
Description: The CA MICS Analyzer file in which the
charging element resides.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 3
NOTE: If the source of the data element is a
non-CA MICS (external) file, code the external
file identifier (the last three characters of the
external file name). For debit and credit files,
specify SDT or SCT, as appropriate.
5. ELEMENT NAME
Description: The value of this data element will be
multiplied by the rate to calculate the charge. If the
database discretely retains the charging element, you
must specify the element name that is listed in the
CA MICS Data Dictionary. If you want to calculate the
element, specify an unused element name.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 8
NOTES: This name must follow CA MICS naming conventions
(the first three characters must be the same as
the file name). For example, if the source of
the data is the BATJOB file, code JOB as the
first three characters of the element name.
For the Debit and Credit Files, specify SDTQNT or
SCTQNT, as appropriate.
6. MEASURED UNITS
Description: A description (up to 16 characters) of the
units (for example, seconds) in which the charging
element was measured.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 16. You cannot use the
single quote character in this field.
NOTE: This text will appear on the invoice.
7. CHARGING ELEMENT DESCRIPTION
Description: A label that describes the charging
element.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 40. You cannot use the
single quote character in this field.
8. COMPUTATION ROUTINE
Description: The appropriate CA MICS program uses the
computation routine to calculate the value of the
charging element. Testing the routine is your
responsibility. If the element is already computed,
leave this field blank.
Default: None
Values: See NOTE
NOTE: Your computation routine can use any of the data
elements that the CA MICS database files
contain. The CA MICS Data Dictionary documents
these elements. In addition, the exit can make
use of some data elements (such as ACTFLD1-5 in
the CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer (SMF)
files) that are not written to the database.
COMPUTATION ROUTINE CODING CONSIDERATIONS
In coding the computation routine, observe the following
conventions:
o The routine must be a valid SAS routine with no
embedded DATA or PROC statements.
o Do not use SAS labels because you may include the
routine in the CA MICS code multiple times and any
label could cause a "duplicate SAS label" error.
o Do not use a RETURN or DELETE command. The invoking
routine may not make a single pass through the DATA
step for each observation.
