Why would you think that? When I was working, our office had several different contracts active simultaneously. Many were "cost plus" rather than "fixed fee." It was not unusual to spend a portion of each day on different ones. We were required to daily document our time on each to the nearest tenth of an hour. Similarly, when we logged on to TSO or submitted a batch job, we were required to specify the account field that corresponded to that contract. We had an exit (IEFACTRT?) that captured this along with job statistics, such as CPU time, I/O counts, etc and cut appropriate SMF records. These formed the basis for billing the customers. It was also used by management to determine how accurate initial estimates were and then refine our process for estimating future bids. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
