Selects all records time-stamped at or after the specified time.

Format

/SINCE [=time]

Description

All records in an accounting file are time-stamped with the time the record was logged in the file.

The /SINCE qualifier selects only the records time-stamped on or after the specified time. You can specify an absolute time, delta time, or a combination of the two. If you omit the time, 00:00 hours on the current day is used.

See also the /BEFORE qualifier, which selects records time-stamped before a specified time.

Example

$ ACCOUNTING /SINCE=5-JAN-2002

      

This example produces a brief report of all records time-stamped at or after 5-JAN-2002 in the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT.

Sorts the selected records.

Format

/SORT [=([-]sort_field[,...])]

Keyword

sort_field[,...]

Specifies the sort key.

The following table shows the keywords available. You can specify up to ten sort fields.

Keyword	Sorts on This Field
ACCOUNT	Account
ADDRESS	Address of the node that made the DECnet for OpenVMS request
BUFFERED_IO	Number of buffered I/Os
DIRECT_IO	Number of direct I/Os
ELAPSED	Elapsed time
ENTRY	Print or batch job queue entry number
EXECUTION	Number of images run by the process
FAULTS	Number of hard and soft page faults
FINISHED	Time record was logged in the accounting file
GETS	Number of GETs from the file that was printed
IDENT	Process identifier (PID)
IMAGE	Image name (sorts only on file name portion of the image file specification)
JOB	Name of print or batch job
NODE	Name of the node that made the DECnet for OpenVMS request
OWNER	PID of parent process
PAGE_FILE	Peak page file usage
PAGE_READS	Number of hard page faults
PAGES	Number of pages printed
PRIORITY	Base process priority, or print or batch queue priority
PROCESS	Type of process
PROCESSOR	Total CPU time used
QIOS	Number of QIOs to the printer
QUEUE	Name of print or batch queue
QUEUED	Time print job was queued
STARTED	Start time
STATUS	Final exit status code
TERMINAL	Terminal name
TYPE	Type of record
UIC	User identification code
USER	User name at local node
VECTOR_PROCESSOR	Vector CPU time (see the description of the /FULL qualifier for further details)
VOLUMES	Number of volumes mounted
WORKING_SET	Peak working set size

For each keyword, see the description of the corresponding Accounting utility qualifier or the table in the /TYPE qualifier section for details of the types of record in which the corresponding field is present.

Description

The /SORT qualifier merges the selected records from each input file (each file listed in the parameter to the ACCOUNTING command) and sorts them using the specified sort key. The records are sorted according to the value of the first sort field in the list, and when two or more records have the same value in this field, they are sorted by the value of the second sort field in the list, and so on.

The records are sorted in ascending order of the sort field value. If the keyword is preceded by a minus sign, the records are sorted in descending order.

When you use the /SORT qualifier, records are rejected if they do not contain the sort field. For example, /SORT=IMAGE rejects all records that are not of type IMAGE, because the image name field is only present in records of type IMAGE. Similarly, /SORT=PAGES rejects all records except those for print jobs.

You cannot use the /SORT qualifier with the /SUMMARY qualifier.

Examples

$ ACCOUNTING /TYPE=PRINT /SORT=USER
      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It produces a brief report of all the records for print jobs and displays them in user name order.

The following example shows the report that is produced:

Date / Time Type Subtype Username ID Source Status ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14-JAN-2002 09:53:05 PRINT BROWN 20A00193 00040001 13-JAN-2002 13:36:04 PRINT BROWN 20A00442 00000001 13-JAN-2002 12:42:37 PRINT BROWN 20A00442 00000001 13-JAN-2002 14:43:56 PRINT DECNET_MAIL 20A00456 00000001 14-JAN-2002 19:39:01 PRINT DECNET_MAIL 20A00265 00000001 14-JAN-2002 20:09:03 PRINT DECNET_MAIL 20A00127 00000001 14-JAN-2002 20:34:45 PRINT DECNET_MAIL 20A00127 00000001 14-JAN-2002 11:23:34 PRINT FISH 20A0032E 00040001 14-JAN-2002 16:43:16 PRINT JONES 20A00070 00040001 14-JAN-2002 09:30:21 PRINT SMITH 20A00530 00040001

$ ACCOUNTING MYFILE1.DAT,MYFILE2.DAT /SORT=IMAGE -
_$ /FULL /REJECTED=NON_IMAGE.DAT
      

This example processes two files, MYFILE1.DAT and MYFILE2.DAT, to produce a full report of records of type IMAGE, sorted in image name order. It creates the file NON_IMAGE.DAT, and copies all records except those of type IMAGE to that file. Notice that no selection qualifiers are used, and so all records are selected for processing. When the records are sorted, records that do not contain an image name are rejected.

Selects or rejects records with the specified final exit status codes.

Format

/STATUS= ([-]status_code[,...])

Description

The /STATUS qualifier uses the value of the final status code field to select records for processing. This field is present in all records except records of type USER, file backward link records, and file forward link records.

The /STATUS qualifier selects only records that have the specified values in the final status code field. If you precede the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the specified values.

See the description of the /BRIEF qualifier for details of how to convert a final exit status code to the equivalent message text.

Example

$ ACCOUNTING /STATUS=10D38064
      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It produces a brief report of all records with a final exit status code of 10D38064.

Produces a summary report of the selected records.

Format

/SUMMARY [=(summary_item[,...])]

Keyword

summary_item[,...]

Specifies the summary key. The following table lists keywords:

Keyword	Description
ACCOUNT	Account
DATE	Date
DAY	Day of month (1--31)
HOUR	Hour of day (0--23)
IMAGE	Image name (file name portion of image file specification)
JOB	Name of print or batch job
MONTH	Month of year (1--12)
NODE	Name of the node that issued the DECnet for OpenVMS request
PROCESS	Process type
QUEUE	Print or batch job queue name
TERMINAL	Terminal name
TYPE	Record type
UIC	User identification code
USER	User name
WEEKDAY	Day of week (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, and so on)
YEAR	Year

If you omit these keywords, the user name is used as the summary key.

Description

The /SUMMARY qualifier produces a summary report of the selected records. The report is directed to the current SYS$OUTPUT device, unless you use the /OUTPUT qualifier to write it to a file.

Summary reports give statistical summaries of the resources specified by the /REPORT qualifier for each value of the summary key specified by the /SUMMARY qualifier. If you omit the /REPORT qualifier, the summary report gives the total number of records processed for each summary key value.

The first line of the summary report shows the time span of the data processed (when the first and last records processed were logged in the input files), with a title in the middle. You can use the /TITLE qualifier to specify your own title.

The next few lines of the report are column headings. There is one column for each summary_item, then one column for each resource specified by the /REPORT qualifier. The columns are laid out in the same left-to-right sequence as the equivalent keywords in the /SUMMARY and /REPORT qualifiers.

The rest of the report uses one line for each summary key value. It gives a summary of the resources associated with that summary key value. The data is sorted in ascending order of the summary key value.

See also the /BINARY qualifier, which copies the selected records to a file, and the /BRIEF and /FULL qualifiers, which produce brief and full reports of the selected records.

You cannot use the /SUMMARY qualifier with the /BINARY, /BRIEF, or /FULL qualifiers.

Examples

$ ACCOUNTING /TYPE=PRINT /SUMMARY=USER /REPORT=(PAGES,RECORDS)
      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It processes all the print job records and produces a summary report that shows, for each user, the total number of pages printed and the number of records that were added together to produce this total. This is an example of the report that is produced:

From: 12-JAN-2002 15:55 VAX/VMS Accounting Report To: 15-JAN-2002 15:17 Username Pages Total Printed Records ------------------------------- BROWN 115 2 CROW 3 1 CUTHBERT 20 4 FOSTER 46 1 SMITH 50 3 WHITE 50 7

$ ACCOUNTING /SUMMARY=IMAGE /REPORT=(PROCESSOR,RECORDS)
      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It produces a summary report that shows the total CPU time used by each image. This is an example of the report that is produced:

From: 12-JAN-2002 15:55 VAX/VMS Accounting Report To: 15-JAN-2002 15:17 Image name Processor Total Time Records ------------------------------------- 0 00:09:09.83 51 ACC 0 00:01:36.72 99 AUTHORIZE 0 00:00:04.17 8 CDU 0 00:00:33.25 21 COPY 0 00:00:05.97 30 DELETE 0 00:00:02.79 12 DIRECTORY 0 00:00:09.67 38 DUMP 0 00:00:04.51 3 EDT 0 00:00:05.85 7 LOGINOUT 0 00:04:03.48 75 NETSERVER 0 00:00:00.63 23 SHOW 0 00:00:04.80 22

/TERMINAL

Selects or rejects records for interactive sessions at the specified terminals.

Format

/TERMINAL= ([-]terminal_name[,...])

Description

The /TERMINAL qualifier uses the value of the terminal name field to select records for processing. This field is present in all records except file backward link and file forward link records. For records that contain information about interactive sessions, this field contains the name of the terminal associated with the session.

The /TERMINAL qualifier selects only records that have the specified values in the terminal name field. If you precede the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the specified values.

Give the terminal name as the standard device name and include the colon (:).

Example

$ ACCOUNTING /TERMINAL=TTB3:

      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It produces a brief report of all records for interactive sessions at the terminal TTB3.

Specifies the title shown on the first line of a summary report.

Format

/TITLE= title

Description

The /TITLE qualifier specifies the title shown in the center of the first line of summary reports. The title is truncated if it is too long. For reports displayed on your screen, the title is truncated if it is longer than (W--56) characters, where W is the width (in characters) of your screen.

Example

$ ACCOUNTING /SUMMARY=IMAGE /TITLE="June Accounting Report"

      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It produces a summary report that shows the number of times each image was executed. The title "June Accounting Report" appears at the top of the report.

/TYPE

Selects or rejects the specified types of record.

Format

/TYPE= ([-]record_type[,...])

Keyword

record_type[,...]

Specifies the types of record that you want to select or reject. The following table shows the keywords available:

Keyword	Type of Record	Description of Record
FILE	FILE_BL	File backward link. This is the first record in the accounting file. It is logged when the file is created, and contains the name of the previous accounting file.
	FILE_FL	File forward link. This is the last record in the file. It is logged when the file is closed, and contains the name of the next accounting file.
IMAGE	IMAGE	Image termination. It contains details of the resources used by the image.
LOGFAIL	LOGFAIL	Failed attempt to log in. It contains details of the resources used by the login attempt.
PRINT	PRINT	Print job termination. It contains details of the resources used by the print job.
PROCESS	PROCESS	Process termination. It contains details of the resources used by the process. Note that this includes the resources used by the images executed by that process.
SYSINIT	SYSINIT	System booted. It contains details of resources used to boot the system.
UNKNOWN		Record not recognized as one of the other types in this table.
USER	USER	Record logged by a program calling the $SNDJBC system service to send an accounting message.

Description

All records in an accounting file contain a type field that contains the type of the record.

The /TYPE qualifier selects the specified types of record. If you precede the list with a minus sign, it selects all records except those specified.

See also the /PROCESS qualifier, which selects or rejects records for particular types of process.

Examples

$ ACCOUNTING /TYPE=PRINT
      

This example processes the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT. It produces a brief report of all records for print jobs.

$ ACCOUNTING /TYPE=-PRINT
