ACT Defining Remote Site Specifications

Remote site users must specify a DD statement to identify the data set to be transmitted to the central site
micsrm140cd
Remote site users can specify whether or not they want to transmit the Credit File to the central site for use in the Invoice Credit Supplement Report. This option does not affect whether credits appear on the invoice because they are included in the monthly Financial Recap File, which is always transmitted.
The following sections describe how to indicate remote site specifications.

Use the Remote Site Worksheet to define the following parameters:
Process Credit File
Description: Specifies whether the Credit File at this site will be used for multi-site invoicing.
Default: NO
Values: YES, NO, Y, or N
Note:
 If you are providing central credit reporting with the invoice credit supplement report, this file must be transmitted.
Transmit File Dd Statement
Description: Allows specification of the JCL DD statement for the transmitted files.
Default: None
Values: Character, length 72 per line
Note:
 The ddname must always be TAPEFMT. You must provide the transmission facility to send this file to your central site. The file can be a previously cataloged data set or it can be created each time the job is run. If a previously cataloged data set is used, it should have the same DCB attributes as the sharedprefix.MICS.TABLES data set. If the data set is created by the job, the DCB attributes can be omitted, as they will default to the input data set attributes.

Remote Site Example

The Remote Site Example assumes that the installation wants to transmit the Credit File (as well as the Financial Recap File, which is always sent) to the central site for invoicing. The data set to be transmitted has been previously cataloged.
