Producing Reports of Resource Use   



The three types of reports are:

Type of Report Qualifier
Brief
/BRIEF (the default)
Full
/FULL
Summary
/SUMMARY

To produce a report, use the ACCOUNTING command with the appropriate qualifier in the following format: ACCOUNTING [filespec[,...]/qualifier[,...]]

This runs the Accounting utility. The filespec parameter lists the accounting files you want to process. If you omit it, the Accounting utility processes the default current accounting file, SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT.

By default, the Accounting utility processes all the records in the accounting files you specify. You can use selection qualifiers to specify which records you want to process.

By default, brief and full reports present the records in the order in which they were logged in the accounting file. When you produce brief and full reports, you can use the /SORT qualifier to specify another order.

Example

This example produces a brief report of the information in the file that the logical name ACCOUNTNG points to. The /TYPE qualifier selects records for print jobs only. The /SORT qualifier displays them in reverse alphabetical order of user name.

$ ACCOUNTING ACCOUNTNG/TYPE=PRINT/SORT=USER
