1    /DISABLE

       /DISABLE[=(keyword[,...])]

    Prevents the tracking of the resources specified by the keywords.

    The following table lists the keywords you can use to specify the
    type of resource.

    Keyword          Type of Resource

    IMAGE            Resources used by an image

    LOGIN_FAILURE    Resources used by an unsuccessful attempt to log
                     in

    MESSAGE          Unformatted record written to the accounting
                     file by a call to the $SNDJBC system service

    PRINT            Resources used by a print job

    PROCESS          Resources used by a process

    You do not need to stop the tracking of all processes and images.
    You can prevent resources being tracked for specific types of
    process and for images running in these types of process.

    The following table lists the keywords you can use to specify the
    type of process.

    Keyword        Type of Process

    BATCH          Batch process

    DETACHED       Detached process

    INTERACTIVE    Interactive process

    NETWORK        Network process

    SUBPROCESS     Subprocess (the parent process can be a batch,
                   detached, network, or interactive process)

    If the system is no longer tracking any resources, /DISABLE
    closes the current accounting file.

    If you use the /DISABLE qualifier and omit the keywords, the
    current accounting file does not track any resources, and the
    system closes the file.

2    /ENABLE

       /ENABLE[=(keyword[,...])]

    Enables the tracking of the specified resources, and opens the
    current accounting file if it is not already open.

    The following table lists the keywords you can use to specify the
    type of resource.

    Keyword          Type of Resource

    IMAGE            Resources used by an image

    LOGIN_FAILURE    Resources used by an unsuccessful attempt to log
                     in

    MESSAGE          (Unformatted record written to the accounting
                     file by a call to the $SNDJBC system service)

    PRINT            Resources used by a print job

    PROCESS          Resources used by a process

    You do not need to track all processes and images. You can track
    resources for specific types of process and for images running in
    those types of process.

    The following table lists the keywords you can use to specify the
    type of process.

    Keyword        Type of Process

    BATCH          Batch process

    DETACHED       Detached process

    INTERACTIVE    Interactive process

    NETWORK        Network process

    SUBPROCESS     Subprocess (the parent process can be a batch,
                   detached, network, or interactive process)

    If you use the /ENABLE qualifier and omit the keywords, the
    current accounting file tracks all resources.

3    /LOG

    Writes information to the current SYS$OUTPUT device as the
    command executes.

4    /NEW_FILE

    Closes the current accounting file, and starts up a new version
    of it.

    The name of the new file depends on whether the logical name
    ACCOUNTNG is defined in your system logical name table.

    If this logical name is not defined, the SET ACCOUNTING command
    opens the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT.

    If this logical name is defined, the command opens the file
    that this logical name points to. If you omit the directory,
    SYS$MANAGER is the default, and if you omit the file type, .DAT
    is the default.

    The /NEW_FILE qualifier writes a record to the end of the old
    file that contains a forward pointer to the new file, and a
    record to the beginning of the new file that contains a backward
    pointer to the old file. These records contain the names of the
    new and old files respectively.
