shiva27,

welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.

To format and output the accounting information, use the ACCOUNTING utility.

$ HELP ACCOUNTING will provide further details.

Shiva,

I concur with Volker, please review the HELP text and possibly the manuals on the OpenVMS WWW site at http://www.hp.com/go/openvms

shiva27,

perhaps this would be of some value - I use it evey month (changing what needs to be changed of course :^)

$ account/brief/sin=02-Nov-2008:13:20 sys$specific:[sysmgr]accountng.dat /out=$1$Dga64:[old_syslogs.cache1]acct_ascii.txt

This will print out all of the entries. If you specify /image=image_name, you get just that image

example:
CACHE1::DISK$INFSYS:[RJHEARN]_>Account/br/image=authorize dga60:[old_syslogs.Cache2]accountng_Cache2_12-01-2008.dat
