Example 2: Defining a Complex Unit with a Constant

This example shows the definition of a complex charge unit named @IO-COUNT. It is composed of DISK-IO, TAPE-IO, and OTHER-IO. The rate is per 1000 EXCPs.

Note that the AOP and Field/Constant columns are not blank, but contain an arithmetic operator and a numeric constant.

Note: When specifying constants, they must be enclosed in single quotes, or CA PMA Chargeback assumes the constant is an ORD element name. For example, '.5' as shown on the panel in Charge Units Entry Panel.
