Account Code Definition (VMCACCT)

The
MICS
Analyzer Option for VM/CMS accounting fields have the names of the form VMCACTn, where n is the sequential number of the accounting field. If three fields are defined, they will be VMCACT1, VMCACT2, and VMCACT3 (in your accounting structure, these might identify division, region, and project, respectively). The sequential number is called the accounting field "level" number. There is a maximum of nine levels. A sample account code structure is provided with the distribution materials.

The
CP Account Code Level Definition Worksheet
is a worksheet for collecting the data. Once you have completed this form, code the contents of sharedprefix.MICS.PARMS(VMCACCT) as follows:
  • Blank statements are permitted. Comments are coded by beginning the statement with an asterisk (*).
  • Account levels are provided in ascending order, starting with 1.
  • Up to nine levels are permitted, with no gaps between the numbers permitted.
  • The format of a statement is free-form, but positional. All parameters are required. The format of each statement is as follows:
         n m 'descriptive title assigned to VMCACTn'
    n
    account level
    The level of importance of each element is specified, with Level 1 being the most important (major field) and the highest level number being the least important (minor field); 1 to 9 levels can be specified.
    m
    field length
    The length of the specified element, which may range from 1-30.
    descriptive title
    the description of the account level.
    The title that describes the account code field is limited to forty characters.
  • An account level can be deactivated in the DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, and YEARS timespans. Setting account code levels by timespan is accomplished by specifying the timespan mask on the account code statements in VMCACCT, as follows:
         n T(......) m 'descriptive title assigned to VMCACTn'
    Each "." position in the timespan parameters represents a timespan, in this order: DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, and TABLES. For each timespan, a "Y" indicates that the account level should be active, or an "N" indicates that the account level should be inactive.
    The following example shows the VMCACT3 element being retained only at the DETAIL and DAYS timespans.
         1             8  'DIVISION'      2             8  'REGION'      3  T(YYNNNY)  8  'PROJECT'
    For more information about the timespan mask, see Database Complex Account Code Parameters.
