Example 1: Defining Accounting Sources Without a Lookup Table

In this example, we are telling CA PMA Chargeback to:

• Create a field called DIVISION for the MBJ (Batch Job) ORD
• Its sources should be:
  • The first four characters of the JOBNAME, concatenated with
  • The first eight characters of the ACCTCODE field, concatenated with
  • The first four characters of the USER-INFO field

    
                          |----- DIVISION Length (16) ----|
                          ▼A B C D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 X Y Z 1▼
                          |-------|---------------|-------|
                          |1 2 3 4|1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8|1 2 3 4|
                          -JOBNAME-----ACCTCODE-----USER---
                                                    INFO
    

    Note: When you perform a query or print an invoice, this structure will be displayed as: DIVISION: ABCD12345678XYZ1

        |   F5=Save   F6=Delete   F11=Lookup

  Command ===> ____________________________________________________________
  F1=Help  F3=Exit  F4=Prompt  F9=Command  F10=Action Bar  F12=Cancel  PA1=Susp

This processing takes place at Detail function time for each ORD record.

The ACCSRTAB table is used to generate the required code to perform this task. The data entered is validated to ensure that the fields used in the creation of the construct are valid and exist within the ORD definition.
