Customer Enhancement for Spool Accounting

Use

For accounting purposes, the spool system collects detailed use statistics. The spool system does not provide an accounting tool, but makes the data available through the spool accounting user exit. You can access the exit using the enhancement SPOOACC.

Features

The exit is designed to analyze and store the accounting information, before all the information is deleted.

The exit is called when the report RSPO1041 is run to delete spool requests. An internal table of type TSPJSTAT is transferred. This table contains the information about all print requests to be deleted.

Only those records not processed elsewhere are transferred (see documentation for TSPJSTAT).

Activities

To activate spool accounting, use the following profile parameters:

rspo/stat/jobs : An entry is written to the table TSPJSTAT for each output request.

rspo/stat/query : Every time a printer is queried, data about the queue is written to table TSPQSTAT.

Example For an example of the analysis of spool data statistics, see report RSPOSTAT.
