4.13 Defining Journal Files

Use the Journal File Eligibility option (MWF;4;2;S;2) to add
new journal files for external journal files and
field-developed applications (FDAs) and to override the
specifications for the standard CA MICS journal files. Refer
to the Data Dictionary, Appendix B.2, for a list of the
standard CA MICS journal files.


STEPS TO DEFINE JOURNAL FILES

Complete the checklist below to add journal files or change
journal file specifications:

 __ 1. Select Option S, Special Requirements, from the
       Installation Accounting Primary Options Menu to
       display the Special Requirements Menu, and select
       Option 2, Journal File Eligibility.  The Journal File
       Eligibility - File Selection panel will be displayed.

       Use the Select line command to modify the
       specifications for an existing journal file.  Use the
       Insert line command to add a new journal file for an
       external journal file or an FDA.  In both cases, the
       File Specifications panel will be displayed.

 __ 2. Submit the job MAGRUN from prefix.MICS.CNTL for each
       database unit containing a journal file that you
       added or changed.  The MAGRUN job uses information
       from the Journal File Eligibility parameter to perform
       the Rate Table generation.  You can also submit the
       job from TSO as follows:

           SUB 'prefix.MICS.CNTL(MAGRUN)'

The following sections describe the specifications needed to
define journal files.  If you do not need to add any journal
files or modify any of the specifications for the standard
CA MICS journal files, skip these sections.
