SESSION Command
Function
The SESSION command allows you to change the account and remark
strings of your job. If your system is not running with account
validation, the SESSION command has no effect. If your system is
running with account validation, you can use the SESSION command
to change the billing profile of your job.
For example, you may have several projects, each of which is
charged to a separate account. Therefore, several account
strings are valid for your PPN. The SESSION command allows you
to change the account string for your job without logging out and
logging in again. Thus, all subsequent charges will be made to
the new account.
If account validation is enabled, the string you type must match
one of the accounts assigned to your PPN. The string must match
in case (lower or uppercase), although this feature can be
changed by the system administrator.
