Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : SET : SET SUBACCT

SET SUBACCOUNT

Abbreviation: SET SUBACCT
Command Format: SET SUBACCT <name>
SET SUBACCT BACK <name>
SET SUBACCT ?
SET SUBACCT BACK ?
Availability: DialogClassic Web*
DialogLink 5*
DialogClassic*
DialogWeb—Command
*

*See Usage Notes

You can specify a subaccount name of up to 32 characters to which a search session is to be charged. Use the BACK option to capture costs back to the time of your last BEGIN command or since your last SET SUBACCT command. If you store this command in your Dialog profile with a ? in place of the name, each time you log on you will be prompted to enter a subaccount.

For extra ease in using this command, any of the following variations will work: SET SUBACC, SET SUBACCO, SET SUBACCOU, SET SUBACCOUN, SET SUBACCOUNT, and SET SUBACCT.

• To set a subaccount (with BACK to capture logon costs):

?set subacct back peterson (science dept.)
Subaccount is set to PETERSON (SCIENCE DEPT.).

Usage Notes

DialogClassic Web: To be prompted for a subaccount name/number upon every login, use the checkoff box in the Preference Tab setting or enter and save SET SUBACCT ? in your profile.

DialogLink 5: To store a prompt for subaccount information at login, use Configuration>Settings>Preferences. Enter a question mark in the Subaccount box and click OK.

DialogClassic: If you have stored SET SUBACCT ? or SET SUBACCT BACK ? commands in your profile, a second prompt appears after you enter a subaccount name/number upon login. The system requests confirmation of the subaccount name/number with <Y or N>.

DialogWeb—Command: If you have stored a prompt for subaccount information, SET SUBACCT ? or SET SUBACCT BACK ? commands, in your Dialog Profile, you must enter a subaccount on the logon page of DialogWeb. If you do not enter a subaccount name at the logon prompt, after three prompts you will be automatically logged off the system.
