The Question is:

 
How do I gather print queues jobs entries by username and number of pages
printed on a daily basis with the intension of generating a report.
The environment is a clustered Alphas and VAXes.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Use ACCOUNTING, with the /TYPE=PRINT, /SINCE=date and /USERNAME qualifiers.
 
  If you wish to generate a report based on this data, you can use the above
  qualifiers to distill the information, and use the /BINARY option to create
  a binary data file containing the requested information, and then process
  the accounting data using the record format listed in an appendix of the
  OpenVMS manual that covers the ACCOUNTING utility.
