VMS Help ACCOUNTING, /ACCOUNT, Description  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The /ACCOUNT qualifier uses the value of the account field to
    select records for processing. This field is present in all
    records except file backward link and file forward link records.

    The /ACCOUNT qualifier selects only records that have the
    specified values in the account field. If you precede the values
    with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the
    specified values.

    The following table shows the values stored in the account field
    of login failure and system initialization records.

    Value      Description

    <batch>    Batch job login failure
    <det>      Detached process login failure
    <login>    Interactive login failure
    <net>      Network login failure
    <start>    System startup

    Note that when you specify these account field values as
    qualifier values, you must enclose them in quotes. Like all DCL
    commands, the ACCOUNTING command converts strings to uppercase
    unless they are enclosed in quotes.
