Accounting File Format Description

Accounting files are recorded in ASCII format in a series of tagged fields.

New fields can be added without losing backward compatibility, because each field is tagged. A version field is included in the ACC.STA file to identify the supported fields as the system evolves.

»Note: Field 45 in the Job Accounting File example on page 4-35 illustrates that new fields can be added to the series but used where logical, in this case between fields 6 and 7. Field 45, which provides information about the interface used, was added in response to a customer request.
