All About mainframes

Job Accounting information usually defines a person or department to whom processor time is billed for mainframe job execution.

This value varies from project to project and company to company. It totally depends on the guidelines set by the company.

This accounting information value is generally a number, but it may consist of multiple pieces of information and not just a single

as it is set as per company guidelines. Its value depends on that. The accounting information is passed on the JOB statement, not the EXEC statement.

Below are a few examples--

Example 1:

//JOB1 JOB A123-1212

Example 2:

//JOB2 JOB (A123-1212,'11/12/99')
