Accounting File Format Description
Accounting files are recorded in ASCII format in a series of tagged
fields.
New fields can be added without losing backward compatibility,
because each field is tagged. A version field is included in the
ACC.STA file to identify the supported fields as the system evolves.
» Note: Field 45 in the Job Accounting File example on page 4-35
illustrates that new fields can be added to the series but used where
logical, in this case between fields 6 and 7. Field 45, which provides
information about the interface used, was added in response to a
customer request.
