5.2.4.3 VMCNTU Usage Considerations


When using the VMCNTU File, note that VCNA Account records
are not created in the same way that other VM Account
resource records are produced.  VCNA records are only
produced when a user disconnects or logs off a terminal that
is controlled by VTAM and VCNA.  If your installation is
using a mechanism that creates Account records on a periodic
basis (using the CP ACNT CLOSE ALL command), VCNA records
will not be among the records generated.  Also, if the user
has the capability of changing account numbers without
logging off, a VCNA Account record will not be created when
the account number change occurs.
