Formatting the Accounting File

The SARINACT program formats the CA View accounting file. The accounting file is only required if job accounting is desired as a CA View extension.

The following job control statements are required:

JOB

Initiates the job.

EXEC

Specifies the program name (for example, PGM=SARINACT).

STEPLIB DD

Defines the load library containing SARINACT.

If the program resides in a link list library, omit this statement.

SYSPRINT DD

Defines the sequential output data set (normally SYSOUT) used for listing the statements and messages.

If not a SYSOUT data set, code DCB=BLKSIZE=nnn, where nnn is a multiple of 133.

SARACT DD

Defines the accounting file.

Allocate the data set as one contiguous extent with sufficient disk space to contain 999,999 28-byte accounting records. The default and recommended block size is 6160 (220 accounting records per block).

Example

The following job creates and initializes the CA View accounting file, VIEW.SARACT:

//ACTINIT  JOB ACCOUNT,PROGRAMMER
//SARINACT EXEC PGM=SARINACT
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SARACT   DD  DSN=VIEW.SARACT,DISP=(,CATLG),
//             UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=nnnnnn,
//             SPACE=(6160,4546,,CONTIG)

This JCL can be found in the CVDEJCL member SARINACT.
