/sys$common/syshlp/NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Characteristics  Accounting Rollover Window
 The Accounting Rollover Window characteristic attribute defines the
 window for closing the current accounting file and creating a new
 one, that is, for rolling over the accounting file. If the accounting
 facility cannot roll over the accounting file within the time
 specified by the accounting rollover window, it continues to use the
 current accounting file until the next scheduled or unscheduled
 accounting file rollover.

 Syntax:

 	SET DSA ACCOUNTING ROLLOVER WINDOW <time>
 	SHOW DSA ACCOUNTING ROLLOVER WINDOW

 For example, assume the Accounting Rollover Window is set to 30
 minutes, the Accounting Rollover Interval to 6 hours, and the
 Accounting Rollover Start Time to 12:00:00. The accounting facility
 tries to rollover the accounting file at 12:00. If this rollover is
 not started by 12:30:00, the accounting facility abandons the
 attempt and continues to use the current accounting file until the
 next scheduled rollover at 18:00:00.

 When the accounting facility performs a scheduled rollover, that is a
 rollover required by the Accounting Rollover Interval characteristic
 attribute, it checks that no unscheduled rollover has been performed
 within the accounting rollover window. If one has, the scheduled
 rollover is not performed. For example, assume there is a scheduled
 rollover of the accounting file at 12:00:00. Before the scheduled
 rollover is performed, there is an unscheduled rollover at 12:10:00.
 Consequently, the scheduled rollover is not performed.

 The default setting for this characteristic attribute is 1 hour.

 This attribute has no effect if the Accounting Facility characteristic
 attribute is set to OFF.
