Figure 4-35. Complex-Level External File Specifications Worksheet
Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:
1. EXTERNAL FILE NAME
Description: The name of the external file.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 6, must begin with U or Z.
The fourth character must be either U or Z; the
combination of the last three characters must be unique.
2. DESCRIPTION
Description: A description of the external file; for
information purposes only.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 40
3. SUBSYSID VARIABLE
Description: The external file variable containing
subsystem identification information.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If this field is left blank, *ALL is the only
SUBSYSID value that you may use on the Algorithm
Qualification Worksheet for this file.
4. SUBTYPE VARIABLE
Description: The external file variable containing type
of work identification information.
Default: Blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If this field is left blank, *ALL is the only
SUBTYPE value that you may use on the Algorithm
Qualification Worksheet for this file.
5. EFFECTIVE DATE VARIABLE
Description: The external file variable that will be
compared with the current date to determine the
effective rates.
Default: ENDTS
Values: Character, length 8, ENDTS or SDTENTTS
6. PRORATING
Description: Specifies whether the data for this
external file is to be prorated. Prorating causes the
charges for a single record to be distributed to one or
more different cost centers.
Default: NO
Values: Character, length 3, Y, N, YES, or NO
NOTE: If this field is YES, you must use prorating
to specify how the charges are to be distributed
(refer to Section 4.8.1, Defining Prorating
Charges).
7. PRORATE FROM VARIABLE
Description: The variable that controls whether
prorating will be performed for a particular record.
Default: COSTCTR1 if Prorating is YES; otherwise, blank
Values: Character, length 8
NOTE: If you do not want to prorate, leave this field
blank.
8. INPUTACT DD STATEMENT
Description: The JCL DD statement used to input the
external file.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 72
NOTE: The DDname must always be INPUTACT. This DD
statement will be included in the generated
ACTfffTB job for the file, where fff is the last
three characters of the external file name.
