Joe,
And I'm pretty sure no business department is interested in ACCNT field
and its content. Believe me or not: IT is a tool to achieve business
goal, but the details, guts, fields, commas are NOT in the scope of
business focus. They want working application, it is up to IT how to do
it. Changing ACCNT or classes are not strategic.
BTW: Gadi's further explanation sched more light on that.
That's why I proposed solution for real need. Not just abstract
excercise to solve.

Why would you think that? When I was working, our office had several different contracts active
simultaneously. Many were "cost plus" rather than "fixed fee." It was not
unusual to spend a portion of each day on different ones. We were required to daily document our
time on each to the nearest tenth of an hour. Similarly, when we logged on to TSO or submitted a
batch job, we were required to specify the account field that corresponded to that contract. We
had an exit (IEFACTRT?) that captured this along with job statistics, such as CPU time, I/O counts,
etc and cut appropriate SMF records. These formed the basis for billing the customers. It was
also used by management to determine how accurate initial estimates were and then refine our
process for estimating future bids.
Why do I think that? This is my experience. I saw and *solved* many
scenarios where weird (OK, unusual) requirements were NOT business need,
but were derivative of those. Yes, I sustain - business dept has no
interest in ACCNT field, TRK vs CYL vs AVG and many other technical
things. BTW: I also saw other scenarios but I have *never* saw
reasonable explanation for them. Of course this is only my limited 25+
yo experience. I would be happy to learn such cases.
BTW: Your case seem ridiculous (tenths of hour? Every job accounted?),
but - this is more important - it has nothing to do with the problem.
Please, read Gadi's further explanations. In this case the only purpose
(*) of ACCNT field is to manage job class and service class assignment.
(*)
(Fine print: this is the only purpose we know. However why to suspect
there are other hidden purposes? How to satisfy them? And what's wrong
with CLASS= keyword in jobcard?)
