Task 4: Using Account Numbers and Setting Up Account Validation

1. Specify the following keyword in the user stanza in the administration file:

   account = list

   where list is a blank delimited list of account numbers a user may use when submitting jobs.

2. Instruct users to associate an account number with their job:
   • Using the job command file: add the account_no keyword to the job command file. See Job Command File Keywords for details.
   • Using the graphical user interface:

     Select

     File > Build a Job from the main window.

     &TRIANGLE. The Build a Job window appears.

     Type

     the account number in the account_no field on the Build a Job window.

     Press

     OK

     &TRIANGLE. The window closes and you return to the main window.

3. Specify the ACCT_VALIDATION keyword in the configuration file that identifies the module that will be called to perform account validation. The default module is called llacctval. You can replace this module with your installation's own accounting routine by specifying a new module with this keyword.
