• The use of brackets denotes choices, one of which be selected. • The representation r , I A I I B I I C I L J indicates that you may enter A, B, or C, or you may omit the field.
In instances where there are nested
lines, the following rule applies;
dependent upon the selection of the
nesting.
[Level 1 [Level 2 [Level 3 ]]]
[filename [filetype [filemode]]]
braces or brackets on the text Nested operand selectibn is
operand of a higher level of Where the highest level of nesting is the operand that is enclosed in
only one pair of brackets and the lowest level of nesting is the
operand that is enclosed by the maximum number of brackets. Thus in
the previous example, the user has the option of selecting a file by
filename only, or filename filetype only or by filename filetype
filemode. The user cannot select filetype alone because filetype is
nested within filename; and, as noted, our rule states: the higher level of nesting .ust be selected in order to select the next level
(lower level) operand. The same is true if the user wants to select
filemode; filename and filetype must also be selected. • An ellipsis indicates that the preceding ite. or group of items may be repeated more than once in succession. Exa!!£le The representation
{spoolid1 spoolid2 ••• }
indicates that more than one spoolid may be coded within the braces.
Section 3. CP Commands 43

ACNT Use the ICNT co.mand to process accounting data, create accounting
records for logged-on users, and reset the accumulated accounting data.
For each user specified, an accounting record is created giving the time used by his virtual machine since the last ICNT command was issued for
hi. or since he logged on. The recbrd produced is identical to the
record given when the user logs off of VM/370. Each user receives a message at his terminal that indicates the accumulated accounting data,
and the accuaulated accounting data for each user is reset to zeros. I user can suppress the accounting message by entering the CP command SET ICNT OFF. The format of the ICNT command is:
lCNT
userid1
ALL
{
userid1 userid2 ••• }
ALL
specifies the user(s) for which accounting records are to be
created. Multiple users may be specified on the command input
line.
specifies that accounting records
all logged-on users.
are to be created for
The format of the accounting information message is:
CONNECT=hh:mm:ss VIRTCPU=mmm:ss.hh TOTCPU=mmm:ss.hh CONNECT hh:am:ss is the actual clock time spent in the user's current
terminal session or the time elapsed since the ICNT command was last issued for the user. VIRTCPU mm.:ss.hh is the processor time spent in
instructions within the virtual machine. executing TOTCPU amm:ss.hh is the processor time spent in executing
instructions within the virtual machine plus
processor time used by the control program in
maintaining the virtual machine (paging, I/O, etc.). 44 V8/370 Operator's Guide •
