VMJAREC3

The CA VM:Account PERIODTE CURRENT file contains the costed accounting records from the beginning of the accounting period until yesterday. The PERIODTE CURRENT file is used to produce reports on costed data for the current accounting period. This information is represented to VMRGRW by the VMJAREC3 data definition table.

By default, VMRGRW uses the PERIODTE CURRENT file when FILE VMJAREC3 is the first statement in your control file. To run a report for an accounting period before the current period, code the FILE statement with the filename and filetype of the accounting file you want to use. For example:

FILE VMJAREC3 PERIODTE JULY.

The first 80 characters of each record in the PERIODTE CURRENT file contain information similar to what is in the raw CP accounting records in the RAWDATA $$yymmdd files. The last 160 characters of each record in the PERIODTE CURRENT file contain customer, package, project, and charge information.

The PERIODTE CURRENT file does not include CARDTYP 04 and 06 records because they are not costed.

The CA VM:Account System Administrator's Guide contains more information about the PERIODTE format of accounting records.
