7.5.4 Account Codes


All MSI components support user defined account codes.  To
add account codes to an MSI file, a NAME or NAMX statement
must first be added for @@ACCT:

     NAME @@ACCT 00 0 0 0 0 0

After this, the special MCG variable @@ACCT can be used on
the MSI SEQUENCE or KEEP statements.  The
sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS members fdaACCT and fdaACRT contain
the account field definitions and assignment code.  Note that
these must be completed.  If you do not have a SEQUENCE
statement no user defined sequence elements will be generated
regardless of the NAME @@ACCT statement.

If NOACCT was specified during the GENSHELL process, the
sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS fdaACCT and fdaACRT may not have
been generated and will need to be created.
