  $ ACCOUNTING MYFILE1.DAT,MYFILE2.DAT /TYPE=PRINT /SORT=USER /OUTPUT=OUTFILE

 %ACC-I-INPUT, SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]MYFILE1.DAT;7, 297 selected, 16460 rejected
 %ACC-I-INPUT, SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]MYFILE2.DAT;13,302 selected, 16388 rejected
 %ACC-I-MERGE, 599 records to be merged
 %ACC-I-TOTAL, 599 selected, 32848 rejected, 2 input files

      This example processes two accounting files. It writes a brief
      report of all the records for print jobs, sorted in user name
      order, to an output file and displays informational messages
      that tell you which files were processed and how many records
      were selected and rejected.
