Job Accounting – Setup and Administration
Creating User Accounts (continued)
Creating accounts from a file
Accounts may be created from a data file on a floppy disk.
The file must be named ACCTnnnn.TXT, where nnnn is a one to four digit
number. The file itself is an ASCII text file that consists of a title record, a
units record, and a series of tab-delimited account records. Each record is
terminated by a <CR> (carriage return) character.
Preparing the file
The file is an ASCII text file consisting of a list of tab delimited records.
Please refer to
Structure of the account file
for information about how to
construct this file.
The file may be created by using a word processor and saving the resulting
document as a text file. A spreadsheet program may also be used. Save
the spreadsheet file as a tab-delimited text file.
Loading the file
Copy the file to an MS-DOS formatted floppy disk.
Insert the disk into the floppy disk drive on the Controller.
From the ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATION screen, select CREATE FROM
DISK. Press the Enter key to confirm the choice. The CREATE FROM
DISK screen is displayed.
Enter the 4 numbers contained in the file name, and press the Enter key.
The file is read, and all the accounts in the file are created on the internal
hard disk. Each newly created account/subaccount has its usage field set to
zero. If an account or account/ subaccount already exists, it
will not
be
overwritten. The record on the floppy disk will be ignored, and no values for
the existing account will be altered.
When the file has been read and the new accounts have been created, the
message CREATE COMPLETE is displayed on the screen.
