Sending worker job account

Use the -ja option to specify the text that is used in constructing the JCL job account information for the worker job.

The -ja option increases accounting flexibility for the worker JCL job and overrides the default accounting information within the customized worker job itself (RCCMVS). The -ja text replaces the originally specified text in the job account field.
Note: You can use the -dja parameter in the server job to disable this option. When the rccbuild command is processed, it then starts in exactly the same manner as if the -ja option had not been specified.

Syntax

–ja accountText

The text specified replaces the originally specified text in the job account field. If the text is longer than 50 characters, it is truncated to the first 50 characters.

The text specified must be valid for use in the accounting section of a JCL JOB statement and must meet the requirements for your site; the text is not validated for proper JCL syntax. If accountText contains a character that has a special meaning to the distributed platform, you must remove the special meaning. This can usually be accomplished by enclosing the accountText text in single quotation marks (' ') or double quotation marks (" ").

Example

Note: The examples in this topic are for illustrating command syntax. You need to substitute values appropriate to your site for the command parameters.

The following example shows basic usage of the -ja parameter, where the job accounting has been supplied and will override any default. The accounting information is used only if the server indicated by the -h option (in this case, servermachine @portno) did not have the –dja option set when it was started.

If the –dja option was set when the server was started, this rccbuild command causes the server to act as if the -ja option had never been specified. 
rccbuild –h servermachine@portno –b rcopy.ob –fb rcopy.ob –p path –V –ja “(MYACCT,XXX,090,C97A)
The following examples show JCL job account information containing a blank space and a dollar sign ($): 
rccbuild –h servermachine@portno –b rcopy.ob –fb rcopy.ob –p path –ja “(MYACCNT,BIN42,'090 Bld. F',DEPT9)?

rccbuild –h servermachine@portno –b rcopy.ob –fb rcopy.ob –p path –ja ‘($MYACCNT)'
