RE: Job Accounting

No coding but heaps of data entry to change all your user profiles to
incorporate accounting codes.  Also without TAATOOLs reporting on AS/400
job accounting is a real mess.  I set it up to bill clients and also to
use as a crude performance indicator on machines without Performance
Tools.
