Charge-Out Analysis report

The Charge-Out Analysis report is created by the TASCOSTR program.

There are multiple versions of the Charge-Out Analysis report:

  • Detail Charge-Out Analysis report
  • Distribution Charge-Out Analysis report
  • Chargeable Rate Table report

You create Charge-Out Analysis reports to:

  • Provide the data center with a detailed audit of charges accrued to a specific user for the IMS services consumed and automated billing for its customers (Detail Charge-Out Analysis report)
  • Allow the system or database administrator to establish rates more easily and accurately, measure the impact of the rate structure, and identify the variance between special-charged transactions and actual processing costs (Distribution Charge-Out Analysis report)
  • Maintain an audit trail of the rates that are used for each charge-out process (Chargeable Rate Table report)

You can create the JCL for TASCOSTR:

  • Manually by using the provided information
  • Online by using the JCL Generator (see JCL-Generator)

Important

TASCOSTR is used to summarize a detailed IRUF, create the Charge-Out Analysis report, and create the Total IMS Resource Usage Analysis report. The processing mode PARM option controls the functions performed by TASCOSTR. For more information, see Processing-modes-Charge-Out-Analysis-report.
