Daily CA PMA Chargeback Processing (CAKRLOAD) Keywords

RECONCILIATION_FILE =

This parameter is used to create an optional reconciliation file composed of variable length records. This file can consume a significant amount of disk space. The Reconciliation file shows in detail all charges for every ORD. RECON = N is the default.

The records in this file are formatted as follows:

|DESCRIPT |ORD|Segment|Segment|Segment|...|Segment|
|_________|___|_______|_______|_______|___|_______|

Usage Considerations:

• If RECON = Y, you must provide a DD name of CAIKRREC in the CAKRLOAD JCL.
• RECON = is considered the equivalent of NO. Make sure you remove or comment out the CAIKRREC DD statement in the CAKRLOAD JCL.
• If RECON = N, make sure you remove or comment out the CAKIRREC DD statement in the CAKRLOAD JCL.

PERIOD_VERSION =

This optional parameter allows you to specify a CBLOAD Version that is associated with a period. (If you use the PERIOD_VERSION = parameter you must have at least one period defined. You can use up to four characters to specify a period.) The following example shows you how to specify period 2 for CBLOAD version TEST:

                      Start
                      Period
                       |  End
                       |  Period
                       |   |   CBLOAD
                       |   |   Version
                       |   |      |
                       v   v      v
     PERIOD_VERSION =  2   2     TEST

Usage Considerations:

• You can omit leading zeros when specifying period versions.
• You can have multiple period versions, as shown below. However, periods cannot overlap.

         PERIOD_VERSION = 101 120 PROD
         PERIOD_VERSION = 121 130 TEST
         PERIOD_VERSION = 141 150 WXYZ
  

• It is strongly recommended that once a period is closed, you delete the specification in order to save memory usage in the batch run.
• If you do not specify the PERIOD_VERSION parameter, the four-character CB_VERSION is used as the PERIOD_VERSION. In this case, the application version prints on the CAKRLOAD Summary Report, shown on page CAKRLOAD Processing Summary Report as CB_VERSION (default). When this is the case, both starting and ending periods are reported as 0. Therefore, it is recommended you use the PERIOD_VERSION parameter.
